Yes, I also think that giving credit where credit is due is a must (and 
developing an example for the LSR is a thing where credit is due!).
Some other positive aspects:
- -) If your name is attached to something, you will probably be more careful 
and considerate.
- -) Having your name attached to something gives yourself a little more 
confidence.
- -) Visitors of the LSR know who knows about that stuff.
- -) It's easier to track down an author when problems with a new version 
appear.

Cheers,
Reinhold
