Regardless of what the compliants are, I would hope that the next
version of the package (regardless of if it appears in main or non-free)
has *this* credits list put back in it.
I believe this aspect to be entirely non-controversial, and that it
needs to get fixed ASAP, regardless of what the outcome with the other
issues might be.
I think it was purely an oversight, and in no way intended. It should
also be easy to fix.
