What is missing is WHY "<>" is preferable to "<$USERNAME@$REPO_UUID>". $USERNAME is good anyways since projects/organizations tie their SVN usernames to email usernames via LDAP, making it easy to infer their email address from $USERNAME. The latter can also be used to disambiguate authors if they happen to have the same real name. "<>" is completely meaningless.
