As the story goes, Kirill made some trivial changes to my code,
and the last (and the most impudent) change was to list himself
as a copyright holder of the code in question.

The question is then what's the enough amount of work to become
a copyright holder.  I believe that one has to write a distinct
piece of code that's not been written before, and the code should
exercise a distinct feature or trait that's not been available
before.  Trivial changes, including trivial bugfixes, do not amount
for authorship and/or copyright.
