I believe Tatsuo was talking about the author field on the commitfest
app, not the cfbot.

Assuming I'm correct there, I think for the link you shared simply no
Author was added when the user created the entry. In the next
commitfest release (March 4th), that should not happen anymor (or at
least not by accident) because then it will start to autofill yourself
as author when you submit a patch.
