Good idea (if developers do not strip credits). In case of modules author name 
and e-mail should be displayed by lvu maintainer <module> command. My main 
reason of posting "Thanks"  e-mail was to offload developers. There is small 
group of them, very valuable and overworked. Why not get them little relief 
and move simple, monkey like, work to contributors?
