Personally I don't care about this. If I think something is good for the 
community I'll publish it. Please check TER.

Publishing an author more or less is not a feature for any customer. If 
you want to improve the reputation please provide code to TER to buglist 
with patches etc.

If you like to improve something: DO IT. If it is good it will be 
accepted. But please take care for features and not marketing (as this 
is still dev list ;-)

Who cares about the end titles. A movie has always one director ;-)

Peter.
