 Replying to [comment:2 alexvorn2]:
 > what is the affect of having your id in the credits page (list)?

 Recognition. Right now, WordPress only directly recognizes people who
 wrote the code that went into core, however that is by no means the only
 way core grows. People who make wireframes, or gather information to make
 bug reports (or encourage others to do so) are helping WP remain a healthy
 community, and by in large, any non-code contribution to core is ignored.
 Which makes people feel undervalued and not respected, which drives them
 away.

 This came up as a topic in the Summit this weekend, and my action item was
 to make a ticket for it :)
