Hi,

FWIW the following entries look the same to me:

+    <member>Andrew</member>
+    <member>Felix</member>
+    <member>Nikita</member>

It's like "John". These entries don't seem to reference any particular person.

They are. I checked thread history, and we chased all three names down the rabbit hole, and found no last name. Email addresses matter in other situations, but not release credits. I trust the committers to handle them as they see fit.

I think that the policies for how to handle names in this list are evolving as the community grows, and I have a few ideas for how to make this process smoother next time around, with some procedures for asking the contributors themselves how they want to be attributed well in advance of the release date.
