Nah, I do that too. I’m a “backstage” kind of guy, including literal backstages.

For example, the only video of mine ever put on YouTube isn’t on my account, someone asked if they could post it. It got 10k views, I feel like that’s pretty good just for a little messing around, but I’m still glad it’s not tied to me.

That's what I do too. At the end of the day, all I want is for my patch to be included so I don't have the problem anymore. I code for a living and I don't have to sell myself to recruiters in my field. But I fully understand why one would want to be credited, and that's just fair.

No -- that's my preference as well. However, I could be considered a "late-career" developer that wouldn't benefit much from credit for small patches.
