Where did you find other devs commenting on this? I'm curious to see that since the first time I saw this commit was when you pointed it out.
Arguably, having no authors seems less insider-y than 20 nips with jb55 and fiatjaf's names on them lol. It's at least debatable.
Ah, didn't see there was a PR, just the commit.
The argument that `git blame` provides a better accounting of authorship is probably the strongest argument for this. It *is* weird that it was proposed and merged within 12 hours without buy in from some very important nostr devs and nip writers.
it's a wrong argument because the documents are now not standalone, they must be combined with the git log to be fully read.
if the archive is zipped up, like for a "release" as github has, all that information is lost.
and like you say, no real quorum was made on this decision.
it was like the christmas eve institution of the federal reserve.
