[Bf-committers] Credits Page

[Bastien Montagne]

We do this when we can do it. But git requires a full id (Full Name 
<valid.mail at mailbox.org>) on first commit, and we usually do not have 
those mail addresses (Phab does not show them for e.g.). So we only can 
commit authored patches for people already 'registered' somehow in our 
git repo (or which we know mail from other source)…
