IMHO credits belong into the changelog, not somewhere hidden in a bug report. This is also something that people often complain about after new PHP releases are available. In those changelogs the same thing can be seen as for example as in the last changelog for pearweb 1.10.1: The names of the persons who changed something are mentioned, but not the people who reported the issue (or the improvement). But if John Miller (just a random name) provides a patch for e.g. a major bug, then his name should be mentioned there, not the name of the PEAR developer who applied the patch. IMHO it is self-evident that each of the developers that are listed in the release announcement mail has worked on the package. If that's not the case, mark this person as inactive and the name won't appear in the list in the email anymore. And whether person A or B has fixed bug #0815 or #4711 is IMHO not really interesting. And if it is interesting for somebody, people can lookup that name in the bug tracker or in the CVS web viewer. Comments are welcome, of course. Regards, Mark -- http://www.markwiesemann.eu
