Fair enough.
I don't see how to make it fit in the About dialog though. The About dialog is
not very customizable (on purpose, so that all apps show the same).
One option is to add it as "Other" text, but IMHO it's a bit too prominent,
before the copyright and okular webpage link

The other option is have it in the "Thanks" section, which is semantically
wrong (e.g. the web link tooltip says "Visit the contributors page")

Maybe we should just go for the manual?
