It does not matter to the project.  But it matters very much to some
contributors.  Especially young or newbie contributors who see this a
recognition by the technical community.  I have even seen people share
there commits proudly in social media.

For those of us who have been doing this for a long time, we don't need
that recognition (I have around 36,000 commits to the project), but that
is not true of others.  So I think we need to be respectful of
contributors.  I believe that we owe contributors of patches to the OS
the public recognition that they deserve.
