I don't feel the need to be credited, TBH, but if you do want to
credit me by some kind of username/nickname, please credit `Diziet' or
nothing.  (`(Diziet)' or some other syntax?)  I don't much use my
debian.org username.

I think you are understating the usefulness of this for downstreams
such as individual users, derivatives, and so on.  (`on Debian
packages' might mean within-Debian or in-Debian-format.)

Translating Policy can make downstream work much easier.
