It's nice to know where this is coming from, because I was a bit confused
about this too. In what way is my privacy protected if 2 million people can

This seems to be derailing rather fast.
The background is that we are publishing a fair amount of meta data
about our contributors that could at least be seen as not totally
harmless from a privacy and data protection point of view.
This includes all the changeset meta data, user ids and display
As Michal said, forcing login wont stop "those that want to cause harm".
