Shouldn't he be listed as author, then, not as dev? As original author, |
| 15 |
he arguably deserves top billing, so don't take that away from him, but a |
| 16 |
box listing him as original author (and perhaps continuing contributor or |
| 17 |
the like), with the current devs in a separate box below, would both |
| 18 |
maintain credit where credit is due and eliminate confusion. |
