We don't have a formal policy about acknowledging help like yours, and I cannot speak for Arjen, but I am sure your help will be acknowledged somewhere that you can quote in your CV. What I normally do for this case as a matter of courtesy is put an acknowledgement in the commit message which will show up at http://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/plplot. Arjen, if you feel this change is important enough to mention in our release notes, then that could be another possibility for publicly acknowleging the help that José has given us.
