I was critical of them initially, but when faced with that sort of thing a lot of people will dig in & go into complete defensive mode. Whether or not that was their initial reaction it takes some effort-- and they did it-- to step back, evaluate, and correct course. It's a credit to them that they were willing to accept the criticism and fix a mistake. Giving proper credit to community contributors is very important. There are often few perks beyond personal satisfaction for taking the time & effort to help improve projects. Public acknowledgment both validates that effort further and also provides a sort of 3rd party "certification" of it that is a more powerful boost to a Vitae & professional standing than the individual noting accepted pull requests.
