Summary

Adds a dedicated CREDITS.md and surfaces credits in README.md and SECURITY.md so contributors and security researchers are visibly thanked in the repo, not just in private advisories or commit history.

What changed

Who's credited (initial list)

Security researchers

Code contributors (community)

Community feedback@cyberdometanza, @AMoneronIQBusiness, @ThiagoDataEngineer, @alvarofraguas, @sonalig-cyble (with linked issues).

Why

  • Security researchers who report responsibly deserve visible credit.
  • Community contributors should be able to point to a public list of their contributions.
  • Reduces the risk of quietly missing someone — there is now a documented PR-against-CREDITS.md path to be added.

Test plan

No code changes — docs only.

  • CREDITS.md renders correctly on GitHub
  • All @username mentions link to existing GitHub profiles
  • All #NNN issue / PR references link to real issues / PRs in this repo
  • README.md Credits section links to CREDITS.md and the contributors graph
  • SECURITY.md Hall of Fame links to CREDITS.md#security-researchers

If anyone listed here would prefer not to be credited (or wants their entry edited), please reply on this PR or open a follow-up PR against CREDITS.md and we'll adjust before merging.

Made with Cursor

Adds a dedicated CREDITS.md and surfaces credits in README.md and
SECURITY.md so contributors and reporters are visibly thanked:

- CREDITS.md — full list covering security researchers, code
  contributors, bug reporters, automation, and maintainers, plus a
  "how to be added" guide.
- README.md — short credits block linking to CREDITS.md, called out
  before the Security section.
- SECURITY.md — Hall of Fame now populated with the security
  researchers who reported / fixed real issues (#220, #159, #130) and
  links to CREDITS.md for the full list.

No code changes.

Thanks for the credit, @beenuar — and apologies for issue #48. That came from an early autonomous outreach pass that didn't have the buyer/spam filter we have now. Won't happen again.

Good luck with v8.0.
