I cannot remember the last time I've seen a request for CREDITS file maintenance. The frequency of requests seemed to drop off sharply at some point several years ago, perhaps when access to CVS was broadened, IIRC.
I'd be more than happy to continue/resume maintenance of the CREDITS file if that is wanted.

Thanks to the attention getting subject (thanks Adrian), I saw the mail message I'm replying to among those quarantined by the new filtering by the forwarding system at acm.org. I have from the outset regarded my acm address as the most stable and reliable of all possible email addresses. Maybe this is a mistake.
I have not been reading linux-kernel mail regularly for a while but I'm looking at gmane.linux.kernel now and sending this followup that way.
Please let me know if my help with the CREDITS file is still wanted.

The CREDITS file changes usually come from the people listed, and new people are most often added as part of the patch that adds the code they've written.
Your work in the past is appreciated, but effectively Linus and Andrew maintain the CREDITS file today.

"Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
"Only a promise," Lao Er said.
