Michael Osipov commented on MSHARED-362:
----------------------------------------
I don't like the local machine username. At work, you see the uploader username
in Nexus anyway. What if an OSS JAR contains a cryptic name, this won't help
anyway.
The reward is fine but since I do the votes and announces, my display name is
visible to the entire community. I can live with that. People don't unzip JARs
to read credit information ;-)
I cannot even globally override that to add my display name instead of my local
username. The problem is that in my company the username is a generated ID
(company-wide personal ID) and considered as company-only information. I don't
want this information to be public, therefore I avoid to deploy snapshots or
releases from work.
I agree to the original request. The issue is that the remaining entries are
reproducible (Maven version, Java version) but not the username. Even if we add
{{addDefaultEntries}}, the removal would lose a lot of information, plus Plexus
Archiver adds a {{Created-By}} by default.
