I was basically correcting how Reported-by is used - for the bug
reporter.

And yes, it is very important for us (even if you specifically don't
give a rat's rear end :-)) to credit the people - with their permission,
of course - who report bugs. Btw, I assume it is obvious why we need all
those good bug reports...

So I'm perfectly fine with you not giving flying f*ck about crediting as
long as you keep testing -rcs and reporting issues.

Thanks!
