Please conduct your discussions here in a civil tone. It is both more
pleasant for all involved and also more likely to elicit a response. I
hardly think that the "waste" of 12 bytes in every commit is an act of
stupidity so inexcusable that it would deserve your bile, even *if* one
were to agree that this information is useless (which I personally don't
think).
I would guess he is more concerned about the unnecessary disclosure of
information that could be used to track or (together with other data)
identify you.
Since the reasons to include it seem to be specifically to know more
about the comitter this seems to me the typical conflict between privacy
and security.
