Precisely. So if you think being "conservative" with what data is
being collected is a good thing, then you do that. (Others might do
s/conservative/paranoid/ to describe the situation at hand).

So my comment still stands: what about the rest of us?

In 20 years of experience contributing to open source software, I have
**never** heard of a single person saying "please don't record my real
name".

Those hypothetical users--which are very likely less than 1 in 10,000
(if they exist at all)--can simply configure git with a pseudonym.

Cheers.
