Agreed it's pushing the boundaries but just to be clear, I was only referring
to phpcredits() -- credits.php. But nothing too crazy as phpcredits() has (and
always will be) outdated. A link. And maybe some text like "Thanks to all those
who made contributions to the project via the bugs database, patches, and
commits, ... ..."
But just thinking out loud here: Facebook is perhaps the most recognizable
brand on the planet (okay not really, but it's up there) so maybe it's good.
"See, mom, even Facebook supports the PHP project. May I continue living in
the basement so I'll have more time to make commits? Rasmus needs me!"
