Clebert, I understand your point of view on the matter. Understand from the ASF point of view, a binary is any file where the source isn't directly readable. JARs are just ZIP files and are considered binaries from that standpoint. So while this is the file that IntellIJ exports, its not source code.
My recommendation is to exclude IDE configs, since the licensing on them is sketchy at best. They're generated files, and its usually best to point users to a location to get them from if they're hacking on the code.
