I would rather have names there than none.

True, but I didn't do it to make a profit or make a book - I did it
precisely to prevent that happening.

Only if everyone who has contributed is cool with that.
What I am completely failing to understand here is that people who screw
with WP code get all manner of crap rained down on them. WP is GPL yet
when a different version was released (around 1.2 time) certain people
were more than displeased about it.
Codex and the docs have put WordPress where it is as much as anything
else - and it seems that no-one wants to protect it in the same way the
code is.
