Comment (by helenyhou):

 That's also not at all what this ticket is about. It's about those who
 contributed in ways beyond Trac and core code. Props have been inclusive
 of graphic design, UI/UX, and even suggestions as of late, so I think that
 piece is less of an issue.

 We talked about this in person, and don't think we ever came back to this
 ticket. To me, a credits page in the software itself is, by nature,
 software credits, and thus is driven by code and design contributions to
 the core software. I also think it would be rather inaccurate to put
 support, documentation, codex, manuals, training, and WordCamp people in a
 cycle-related list, as their contributions have little or nothing to do
 with the development cycle and often span far beyond one. Certainly
 recognition is deserved, but perhaps relying on adding to something that
 exists and isn't as public as those activities is a little bit of a false
 start.

 Problem first, solution second. :)
