For me, i'm ok with just the 4 you listed. Being listed as a
contributor is fine with me at this point.
And to keep it simple, no extra hidden levels, just the simple scroll

If/when we get Coverity going, maybe they should be listed in the
credits somewhere as well, not sure where they'd fit in, maybe Urias
would know.
