Actually Roland shines when it comes to giving feedback to proposed changes, patches, answering questions, and helping people on the mailing. He is precisely the reason I (as a HttpClient project committer) would like to have a better attribution structure that goes beyond @author tag. The @author may be a very misleading indicator of one's contribution and its value. Roland contribution is currently MASSIVELY understated within the existing attribution structure. As much as I would regret to see @author go, at the same time I would whole-heartedly welcome a better system of giving due credits to the regular contributors like Roland. If the board comes up with viable substitution to the @author tag, so be it
Well said Oleg. I also greatly appreciate Roland's contribution to HttpClient. It is the addition of people like Roland that makes HttpClient a viable community. He also seems to be conspicuously missing from our list of Contributors. Roland, do you mind if we add you? This failing by itself clearly identifies some of the problems with our current system of recognition.
