unfortunately they have those credits on the origional pilot. I'm fairly sure thats the one that ends up counting, regardless of whether it airs or not, remember Tim has a writer credit on the train job, but only Joss 'created' Firefly as he wrote Serenity.
Yes but they didn't throw out Serenity pilot and write a new pilot that completely alters every single aspect of the show.
Like, if ABC, had decided they didn't like the pilot for Lost. And they smoked a lot of crack and decided they were going to hire me to rewrite it. So I keep Matthew Fox because I used to have a crush on him and I keep the LotR dude because he brings in the big fanbase but I decide that, instead of a show about people stranded on a desert island after a plane crash, I'm going to make a show about some guy who runs the Lost and Found desk at one of those Swim with the Dolphins places.
I think that the arbitrators would find that I had altered the framework, setting, theme, premise, central characters and tone of the show significantly enough to get me a created credit.

Finally, a new show for Nick Brendon!!! (You know, we were just discussing Xander in a Speedo. Wet. on another thread (meaning that I was obsessing over this a wee bit.).)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I want to see Danny Strong in that photo for the sake of comparison.

He is in the picture, Matt. It's hard to see, since it's so dark, and his head is obscured by Ben's right hand.
