I was afraid it would be a privacy issue: of course the source data is fully public and anyone could aggregate that information in this way, but I'm not sure that when people sign a changelog entry, they intend that information to be correlated into a sort of personal life history. For example, I am personally upset with how Ohloh presents my publicly accessible information: me signing public VCS commits shouldn't automatically give someone the right to use that information to present an arbitrary (and incorrect) public image of myself. Given my experience with that, I took the conservative approach. I am perfectly happy to be told that in the minechangelogs case it really isn't an issue and stand corrected.
