[Qgis-developer] Please stop spamming commit logs!

I guess no fiscale advantage there are for any funding GFOSS.
So seeing to fiscale advantage the fund to GFOSS are fund lost.

I guess however that if a developer named "Count zero" give some code
developed by its own.
Why dont write "code founded by count zero with its own time" ?
The anonimy of the code is not a value. More better to know who found Every
piece of code.
