Then I probably should ask you where did you get the file you modified. The author _is_ mentioned in the file that is in the GNU Emacs repository, since July 2011. Since you submitted the file to XEmacs much later, I wonder where did you find the file without that note. > May I suggest to add it right there and not bury it in some > ChangeLog files? That would avoid these sort of misunderstandings. This file does have the attribution inside it. However, in many other cases, certainly when only a few functions are copied, the credits are only in the ChangeLogs. My suggestion was to also grep those in order to find the original contributor(s). Thanks.
