Unfortunately it's been written in stone at this point. There is
basically no way to modify history for a widely-distributed project
like this (amending that commit would cause all sorts of conflicts for
everybody who has a copy of the current git repository).

The best we can do is probably add a note to the AUTHORS file or something...
