- ranger_danger 1y agoWhat would you prefer? Naming someone that nobody knows?
- kevingadd 1y agoIs their name particularly relevant to the headline? If anything it feels like it might be beneficial to emphasize that it's not about the who here, but instead the what.
- Larrikin 1y agoThere is zero information gained by actually naming the person in the title. They are just a random contributor out of all the contributors on GitHub
- Terr_ 1y agoIt's not bait, so it can't be "clickbait." Nobody here is clicking out of a burning curiosity to resolve the PR-submitter's identity. We can reliably predict it'll be a random account that we've never seen before and will never recognize again. Analogy: It's like someone linked "A kitten doing somersaults." I don't care which kitten is involved, I'll click because I anticipate cuteness and amusing acrobatics. Replacing it with "Miss Mittens (a kitten) doing somersaults" is unnecessary.
