It is not good that GNU does not put some emphasis on people writing the software, I just see "GNU" everywhere and a citation of Stallman in the front page. Credit is due and is an important part of free software.

His name is in the man page (in the source, did you look there?).

Also if you read this whole thread before commenting, you would have seen the project's very recent announcement on the GNU mailing list.

No, Stallman isn't trying to steal Juergen Sauermann's work.
