+Credits are a distinct thing. For instance, Olivier Faurax (for the
+original design) and Alexn83 (for reworking it) have to be in such a
+list for the current logo (and if we are for an exact changelog of it,
+we can as well add Hélène, but that was an offline work).

+
+As a reminder, being a peer means having been recognized by other
+peers. And as we did for other teams, this list has to be bootstrapped
+by the leader.
