Like I said to Andre, that is a lot different than taking over a dead
project, putting your name on it, compiling it, and claiming you're its
developer is a lot different than actually making a contribution to a
project.

For example, I have compiled the ProBoard source code.  Does that make me
its developer?  No.  Now if I went in there, fixed bugs, added features, and
made improvements in general, and released the compiled program, I'd still
not call myself a developer.  Just improved it.

With MBSE, I've contributed code, worked on the docs, and have done several
things yet I don't consider myself a developer; just a member of the
development team.
