It doesn't look like they used your PKGBUILD at all, there's nothing
there for you to be credited for.
By the same rule of thumb if you adopt a package in the AUR and
rewrite
the PKGBUILD you should not credit the previous maintainers. This
conflicts with what the guide says[1], doesn't it?
I personally have adopted packages, completely rewritten PKGBUILD and
kept the names before me out of respect for their work.
And I agree that Arch packagers should do this, we want to get more
people to become a package maintainer and the AUR is good starting
ground to get recognized for your work.
To provide a positive counterexample: My contributor line in
https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/swaylock/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD?ref_type=heads#L3
has been present from the moment my PKGBUILD got adopted from the AUR.
