[development] Giving credit for committed patches

[Steve Dondley]

It's not different.

But let's not lose site of the fact that it's not realistic to get a
feel for who contributed what by visiting the patch discussion for
each patch.  Generally those are never looked at again except when
trying to determine the motivation behind hte patch.

With the cvs commit messages, you can tell who contributed at a glance.
