The current wording appears to have been written in a way that is aimed 
at existing contributors rathera than new contributors, who are the only 
people being shown the terms currently.

New users don't need to know that we're making a change, or that 
attribution is handled differently - they just need to know how things 
work now, not how they used to work.
