What I believe Rich was referring to is this type of attribution which is (very) prevalent in the OpenStack code base - including in the developer documentation within those repos:

That was in fact the actual file I was editing as I sent that email.

they have to ask the author for permission to submit patches against 
that file. If we can avoid making people even think that thought, we've 
done a good thing for the community.
