Wasn't me... I never worked on the dumpfile stuff. Maybe Pilato did some of that. *shrug* ... the reason people aren't getting around to answering your question is because we don't credit individuals like that, anywhere in the project. In most cases, we *remove* credits, and just rely on the version control history if a need to know ever arises. Otherwise, the various works are from the community as a whole. Cheers, -g ps. I haven't looked at your update, but yes: this means you'd be credited in the commit log message rather than in the file.
