Two wrongs don't make a right.  And it's not like not submitting
changes is wrong, although granted it's not ideal.  (I'd say removing
attribution from a git commit is even worse.  If you're doing the
equivalent of a cherry pick, you should preserve the Author field.
Even if you're doing some cleanup work, as the maintainer I generally
preserve the Author line, and will simply add the fact that I did some
cleanup to the commit body.  The question is who did more work; the
person who originally submitted the code, or the person who did the
cleanup.)
