They are. I checked thread history, and we chased all three names down the
rabbit hole, and found no last name. Email addresses matter in other
situations, but not release credits. I trust the committers to handle them
as they see fit.

I think that the policies for how to handle names in this list are evolving
as the community grows, and I have a few ideas for how to make this process
smoother next time around, with some procedures for asking the contributors
themselves how they want to be attributed well in advance of the release
date.
