Re: 8.5 release notes idea

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: RIPEMD160

Just noticed in the release notes for 8.4, there are two items
accredited to just "Greg" (but there are three of us Gregs who
contributed to 8.4 and are in the notes). While this is very likely
Greg Stark, due to the context, I think at this point in the project
we simply should spell out everyone's complete name every time, rather
than the hit or miss style we are developing.

(Enjoy while you can, Bruce, we'll get another Bruce to contribute
someday! Zoltan might be harder... :)

That's correct--you and I are spelled out completely everwhere we show up
there, so all the "Greg" references without a last name are to Greg Stark.

I would not be surprised to find so many Greg Smith's one day that we all
end up identified by SHA-1 hash.

I think any Bruce or Tom who tries to submit a patch will have to be given
a funny nickname instead.

Well they're intended to be. I'm not sure I actually contributed much
to those though.

That is an interesting suggestion. I have tried to use short names
where possible to avoid having the usernames become too prominent.

Believe it or not, there's another guy with my name in Hungary
who is a poet and writer and is more famous than me. :-)

My middle name is Bruce; there wouldn't be any "legal humps" to overcome
for me to use the moniker "Bruce Browne" :-).

I think that's probably a good idea...
