We are all here to learn. It is good to begin with small
contributions to get a sense of how the project works, so I think that
you are doing well.

That may be something to discuss with the project policy per-se. When
it comes to credit people, committers list authors, reviewers,
reporters, etc. directly in the commit log. And your name is
mentioned in 64725728, I made sure of it. The latest discussions we
had about the commit log format involved encouraging as much as
possible the use of a "Discussion" tag in commit logs, the rest
depends on each committer, and nobody uses --author.
