Yes, and I thank you and appreciate that.

That's kind of in the nature of contributing to free software. It took me a 
while myself to come to terms with that. It's not to say that means no reward 
for doing it - one is the satisfaction of making a difference by contributing to 
something great, the other is the getting the credit for doing so. The credit 
has a lot of value to one's professional career, which is why I strongly 
encourage contributors to use their real names on github.
