I'm sorry this happened. It boiled down to two issues... First, I was submitting the patch for Mr. Haywood in good faith. He did not want credit nor gave me any names to attribute the new clone dump to. I did a number of submissions from his work that day (2/24) and none of them were ones which credit was specifically asked for by him. Secondly, even though my svn commit (r11674 if you are playing at home) said clearly "no whatsnew", my name was tacked on there I suspect in an auto-magic fashion when creating the 0.141u3 release's whatsnew.txt because I had committed it.
In short, if there was an error it should have been noticed sooner by those who dumped it or by their representatives. I did not notice it nor had I known it was a huge issue - so things didn't change before 0.142 went to press (over a month later). If problems of credit are showing in U releases, please let someone know so that the next main release can show the proper credit - leaving people happier in the process.
