Well once we push directly into the core documentation I agree that 
outside of release notes (although you just brought that up in another 
thread) we don't need to be mentioning contributions like that. Those 
who have contributed are in the logs.

Further those who have provided reasonable contribution really should be 
mentioned on the contributors page that is up for discussion which would 
make the rest of this moot yes?

Sincerely,
