I agree.

it depend what you mean by secondary. 
Many people will stop working with you if you give no credits back.

No one should ever, have to ask for credit.
It should be done automatically, and naturally.

I'm not whiny, I'm upset against Darin, this for differents reasons;

[Your answer seem to be cut]

My point is that it's not a bit rude, it's very rude, like you search
for a problem for several hours, you found it... your pleasure will
be to make a patch that correct the problem. You tell someone about 
the problem and he make the patch for you.

It just cut you the wings... You were happy to be able to contribute
making Nautilus better, you took time on an issue, and the one you 
told the issue to, fix it without telling you... That's very rude.
