The biggest contributions in this release (v30.2) comes from the user (
*jestory*) who reported the bug and *davidgumberg *who confirmed it also
exists in the bitcoin-wallet tool.

Both are missing from the credits section. Although I am not sure if
reviews, testing etc. is considered a contribution.
