Interesting how that headline can be parsed in different ways, since "attributes" and "work" can both be nouns or verbs. I initially read it as "How Python contributors are given credit for their work"
That would be a short essay. The answer is: Rarely, unless you belong to the old boys club or work on the same projects as GvR or have the correct political opinions.
As did I! Rephrasing the title as a question avoids this peculiarity.
Sorry for being misleading. I didn't think about the other interpretation. It sounds intriguing, by the way. I'm thinking I'd like to learn more about it.
