Well, the problem with the way it is right now is that we're giving
similar amounts of credit for very different amounts of contribution,
which IMHO is no good. I think that putting a "Credits" section at
the bottom and listing contributors there would be a reasonable
solution; I also think that crediting people on a web page or in some
other place would be a fine solution. What we have right now manages
to be both unfair and unreadable.
