----------------------------------------------------------------

I don't like the local machine username. At work, you see the uploader username 
in Nexus anyway. What if an OSS JAR contains a cryptic name, this won't help 
anyway.

The reward is fine but since I do the votes and announces, my display name is 
visible to the entire community. I can live with that. People don't unzip JARs 
to read credit information ;-)
I cannot even globally override that to add my display name instead of my local 
username. The problem is that in my company the username is a generated ID 
(company-internal personal ID) and considered as company-only information. I 
don't want this information to be public, therefore I avoid to deploy snapshots 
or releases from work.

I agree to the original request. The issue is that the remaining entries are 
reproducible (Maven version, Java version) but not the username. Even if we add 
{{addDefaultEntries}}, the removal would lose a lot of information, plus Plexus 
Archiver adds a {{Created-By}} by default.
