I agree its very important to get that right.
It's important for the PostgreSQL project to encourage further
contribution by acknowledging and celebrating contributions, as well
as allowing external observers to see that work was done successfully
by particular people to confirm further sponsorship/time allocation
etc. That practice has long been followed and encouraged by the core
team and committers.
Some mistakes are made from time to time but there is a willingness to
make corrections to that.
I'll look into this.
