Credit Where Credit Is Due

So recently someone asked about installing Catalyst on gentoo-perl. I pointed him to my overlay, which contains quite a few Catalyst-related ebuilds.

He added a few more ebuilds, then published the result to the Gentoo Forums, crediting me as simply "Daniel". He also posted to the Catalyst mailing list.

Am I wrong to feel annoyed about this? I'm no open source superstar, but I generally try to give people credit for their contributions.

I guess this is what I get for not making more noise about my overlay…
