GParted Help --> About Dialog Credits

While maintaining the GParted application, I have been remiss in providing credit in the Help --> About Dialog for significant contributors.

At some point I began tracking the contributions in the AUTHORS file, but had forgotten all about the About Dialog.  When the Credits button in the About Dialog is pressed, a list of names and email addresses is displayed under the title "Written by".  See attachment.

This bug report is to try to correct this situation.

For determination on whether to include a contributor or not, I am proposing the following criteria to define a "significant contribution":

1)  Major patch or new functionality added which exceeds 15 lines of non-trivial code.

2)  Three or more minor patches, where a minor patch is defined as less than 15 lines of code.

Using this criteria, I believe the following list of names should be included in the Credits section of the About Dialog:

   Luca Bruno
   Jérôme Dumesnil
   Markus Elfring
   Mike Fleetwood
   Curtis Gedak     -- already included
   Rogier Goossens
   Bart Harkvoort   -- already included
   Seth Heeren
   Joan Lledó
   Phillip Susi

If I have missed any names that should be included, then please let me know the name, email address, and indicate the contributions.  It is certainly possible that I have missed someone and I apologize in advance for the omission.

To keep things simple, my thoughts are to have the list in alphabetical order by last name as shown above.

I will send an email to these names at the email addresses listed in the AUTHORS file with regard to this bug report.
