Policies for Attribution

Patches Commited to SVN

The commiter of the patch SHOULD attribute it in svn commit message.
Someone WILL attribute the patch in the changelog. (the one in with the code, not the one svn keeps)
Unless it is a huge change, do not expect attribution in the form of a comment in the code.
If you feel that something was improperly attributed, make a request on the mailing list to get it fixed.
- When making such a request to the mailing list, please be sure to include a reference & details to the exact checkin(s) in question.
