If you look at "Mahmoud's" email address, it is from
http://10minutemail.com/ 'the best disposable e-mail service.'.
So it looks like s/he knew what they were doing when venting their
spleen.
It would have been nicer to know the underlying source of their
frustration, rather than them going off the rails.

Please conduct your discussions here in a civil tone. It is both

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.
