Like: show committer id always if the repo is any kind of a public
project. Which maybe ok, I'd better always see what id I use to work
on, for example, Git.

I like the idea in general, but the implementation could be refined.
Maybe consider looking at user.name (whether the repo has an ident
set)? This is usually done conciously, and the user wont need this
reminder.
