[PATCH] CREDITS: Simplify the end-of-file alphabetical order comment

From: Hisam Mehboob

Date: Wed Mar 11 2026 - 21:22:19 EST


The existing comment references specific individuals by name which
becomes outdated as new entries are added. Simplify it to state the
alphabetical ordering rule clearly without depending on who happens
to be the last entry.
