You are missing the point. If I am ordered by a court of law to do so,
then I have no choice.

The fact is, we credit authors of patches of any size, and reporters of
notable bugs anyway. All I am asking is that we do so consistently.

If someone takes the time to understand the code, fix a bug and
recompile and test, then yes, it's a contribution no matter how trivial
the patch. That is distinctly different from someone simply reporting a
bug.

Anyway, I've got better things to do than argue about this. Please note
contributors of any patches applied in the format [Author Name] in CVS
and the changelog, and note reporters where appropriate in a form such
as 'per report from Reporter Name'.
