I believe it was simply the choice of the word responsible that cgf
objected to.  Along with the above use of the present tense am, I can see
how casual observers might be (and were) confused.

From
http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=responsible&x=0&y=0:

1 a: liable to be called on to answer
  b: liable to be called to account as the primary cause, motive, or agent
3  : marked by or involving responsibility or accountability

Perhaps:

As one of the many contributors to setup...

and

I contributed a good portion of setup's UI.

might have been better choices in hind sight.
