<pre wrap="">Aren't "Contributed-by" and "author" comments usual practice in open source

Even in Sun's JRL source author was mentioned. I think, the lawyer guys and

The problem is more human. One would like to give credit for good ideas
or good analysis, but the only official way to give credit in a commit
message is
via a simple
Contributed-by: email-address
which raises legal doubts even when there is no copyrighted material.
I guess one can abuse the Summary: field to squeeze in thank-yous,
but it's pretty obvious that you are circumventing the process.
