However in the hebrew.el file itself there is no author mentioned.
Then I probably should ask you where did you get the file you
modified. The author _is_ mentioned in the file that is in the GNU
Emacs repository, since July 2011. Since you submitted the file to
XEmacs much later, I wonder where did you find the file without that
note.
May I suggest to add it right there and not bury it in some
ChangeLog files? That would avoid these sort of misunderstandings.
This file does have the attribution inside it. However, in many other
cases, certainly when only a few functions are copied, the credits are
only in the ChangeLogs. My suggestion was to also grep those in order
to find the original contributor(s).
Thanks.
