Right, I still remember Ingo Molnar contacting me in private advising me about
this same thing when I was starting contributing to the kernel with trivial
patches, it is understandable to want to have credits for whatever thing one
do, but in my humble opinion the CREDITS file is the right place to do this,
submit an entry there when you have contributed a reasonable number of patches.
Also these days the bitkeeper log is a reasonable way to give credits to all the
contributors.
