No patch has been accepted (unless I mis-understood what you are saying).
In fact, if it's not totally obvious to everyone that timf is the one that committed the latest commit, then this demonstration is noteworthy.

I was simply stating that patches shouldn't be accepted just because a high profile person submitted it (which this could possible be used to spoof for malicious intent).
As for the second part I was wondering if this had any other implications such as committing to someone else repo or if it is just masking identities with another users.
Edit: not to say this shouldn't be fixed I am curious if this implies anything else that I may be missing.
