Every single log line has the committer's GitHub name so it isn't anonymous.

My original concern was about advertising who pays the development
**in the commit logs**.

I just believe that commit logs are not the right place. I would
rather prefer to see those informations in the release notes, on a
dedicated web page, on printed materials, on T shirts, on coffee mugs,
carved in stones, wherever you want but commit logs (and source code,
except email addresses and copyright in the header, of course).

Let me repeat it again: I'm absolutely not against providing full
credits to funders, I'm against doing so in the commit logs, they are
by devs for devs.

Of course, I will be happy with any conclusion the community will
agree upon, if any.
