Ok, now we're seeing this both in the mod_mbox and mod_smtpd web
pages. This is supposed to be a community project, ASF projects don't
have lead developers, and they don't generally go out of their way to
assign credit like this, that's normally kept to the CHANGES file and
the svn commit logs. Putting this sort of thing on the web pages
seems quite inappropriate to me.

+1 I used mod_mbox as the model for the mod_smtpd page. Excuse my
ignorance.

+1.
It is perhaps notable that it was _started_ as a SoC project, but the
rest of it can most likely be nuked. We do have some similar language
under http://httpd.apache.org/ABOUT_APACHE.html too.
