I think he means we dont know who commited the actual code.

Only tags.

Let's do a "git-config user.name \"Aaron Seigo\"" and a "git-config user.email 
\"aseigo at olympusproject.org\"" and now do some commits with some nice, hidden 
security holes in it. Now change your name and mail back, do some nice double 
checked commits and push it to the official server (or let somebody else 
fetch).
Some months later, slashdot will have a news about "kde allows everyone to get 
root access and aaron seigo was it".

Now let the discussion begin.
