The normal way to credit this kind of submission is to list the submitter as such in the commit log. For some reason (probably forgetfulness), joe didn't do this. This can be rectified by a forced commit log if people think it's a big deal, but I think it's somewhat too late for that. I also don't think it's appropriate to add every submitter to the AUTHORS section (please don't take this to mean that I don't appreciate the contributions), esp. when the original author didn't add himself, but I won't fight over this issue.
