I humbly disagree, and "deserves credit for that" feels more like 
boasting than providing neutral information (as you happen to have 
written both pieces of software AND the manual providing the link).

Frankly I think you would be best of by plainly mentioning that you 
wrote both and that *you* think that logback is a good choice (perhaps 
by listing a number of reasons).  Your current approach might be 
considered sneaky for some,  who might even think that if you didn't say 
THAT up front, what else have you chosen not to mention?

And again, _I'm_ fine with you giving logback all the credit it 
deserves.  Just be frank about your attitude :)
