I'm all for the 'Suggested-by' tag but still note that the maintainer did not act in a way that maintainers for the Linux kernel have been acting for pretty much as long as the kernel has existed. Security holes get plugged, credit is secondary to that, and drama over that credit is showing a large misunderstanding about how the Linux kernel has historically dealt with drive by patches, especially small ones.

Sure, but how do we know that's the case here?

By reading the email exchange between the OP and the kernel maintainers. Which is materially misrepresented in TFA.
