Publish or perish still works as long as the history of contributions is clear (which seems like a requirement for a variety of reasons).

I know several open source projects first hand where the founder gets all the recognition while most of the valuable parts were written by others.

Of course you can see the contributions in the VCS history, but that doesn't translate to public recognition.
