You should basically consider the CREDITS file to be legacy stuff from
five+ years ago.
For the last five years or so, you can find the real credits in the source
control history. That didn't use to be true.

Hello,
With great astonishment I've found none of
these "networking" names in the CREDITS file:
Stephen Hemminger, Thomas Graf, Alexey Kuznetsov,
Andrew Morton, Pedro Roque, Jamal Hadi Salim,
Herbert Xu etc.
IMHO there is something wrong with the hitherto
way of updating this file and probably some
additional work should be done regularly by kernel
supervisors. Otherwise the name of this file
should be changed to not discredit many current
and in particular previous developers.
Many thanks and regards
to myself,
Jarek P.

Should this explain Alexey case?

Probably CREDITS is more accessible and more often
read by users. And it seems to be updated quite
often also...
So maybe: NOT-REAL-CREDITS.
