I mean, no offense but that's the perfect example of why this sort of thing is annoying.

It encourages people to do things that they wouldn't normally do that has negative (albeit minor). Extra unnessary commits complicate the git log. Intentionally getting your name on git blame makes finding the true commit slightly more annoying.

Sure these are incredibly minor things, but its still encouraging behaviour that is not positive.

Metric chasing is destructive.
