If this is to indicate original author of a ported hack (i.e. hack marked as Re-usable Code), would not the threadid of the original thread instead be better (sort of like thread id when it is an addon for another hack)?

As the author of the original thread could be extracted from the thread and the username can be displayed, with it linking to the original thread.

That would also answer a lot of "did you get permission from the original author?" type questions.
