such a positive statement counts as a release, however a
misunderstanding of our copyright when submitting an edit probably
wouldn't.
Correct. If your contributions are explicitly public domain, and I
were redistributing an article you had edited, there would be no legal
requirement for me to list your name in the credits. However, being a
nice, considerate person, I would anyway.
