Hi Arhorak,

Thank you for the reference. I think attributing the authors is a good idea. I've created https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/pull/3303

What do you think? Is it ok to attribute to the full name?

Best regards, Sytse

Hi,

in the Padrino project, we usually attribute by (GH) nickname, because thats what most programmers build their identity around. Also, all involved are mentioned. In that case, it would be:

- API: improved return codes and docs. (Xylakant, justahero)

See ours:

Good points. I've added Sebastian Ziebell.

About mentioning usernames, I figured it might get a bit confusing when we get public projects on GitLab.com, you would have to guess which platform the username belongs to. What do you think?

Thanks for understanding in https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/pull/3303#discussion_r3...

The attribution was merged and is live on https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/CHANGELOG#L...
