There's a lot of people expending time here trying to absolutely minimize the OP's effort and contribution. Ignoring that the maintainer literally moved one line of code (of about forty additions) and "contributed" it with himself as the author.

I don't really understand that either. Someone found a problem, researched it, found and tested a solution, voluntarily offered a patch, and everyone wants to pretend that it was nothing? "It was only x lines", "it was a simple/trivial patch to an obscure project", "It wasn't done in the exact way they wanted it". What is wrong with some people! It was a bug that was reported years ago but nobody took the time to fix it. This guy put in the work and delivered, which in the end is what matters.

I'd say the maintainer plagiarized OP's code.
