Sounds like bugs in the patches could have benefited from having another
set of eyes look the code over, too.

OTOH in Torben's defence: It's kind of
tricky to do so: There's no
AUTHORS file nor any ChangeLog or README which usually come with FLOSS
projects to simplify that process.
I am not a lawyer but as far as I know the only legally binding place to list
authors of the code is the actual code-file itself. Thats why all files have a
copyright-header stating the authors and the license...
Of course it would have been more polite to send the patches to Fons first and
ask for his input and thereby hope for inclusion in the official releases.
