They could both be included.  The list itself is not architectural in
nature.  The intent was to have the nightly build script take a pointer
to a file that contains the list, and the list be maintained by the
C-Team, either automatically or manually.  The C-Team would be the
arbiters of the list.

They can ask the C-Team to keep them out of the list.

That would be up to the C-Team as well.  Perhaps a new section could be
added in RTIs that includes the list of people who wish to be added to
the list of credits as a result of the integration...

Indeed, "not this case".

Thanks for the review!
