According to the repo it is more than just username and repo, the local user account and email address is also tracked [1]. I'd argue that you shouldn't be recording email since that is PII.

Show HN: Watermelon – open-source VSC ext. to document code and view Git blame

Hey there HN! We're a pair of devs looking to get feedback for our open-source project. We're remote engineers who have contracted for many clients overseas. There's a problem that all codebases share: Onboarding devs to a new codebase is hard no matter what. We're also open-source engineers and learned about the techniques used in OSS to tackle the problem. Please give us your feedback.
