Single data point: As a Guix user (and occasional contributor, albeit not a committer), I would very much prefer a system that does not rewrite the history. When someone wants to correct their name (for whatever reason), I would prefer it to be done going forward, not retroactively. I think making such broad statements without some empirical study is not great, since it is, as you said yourself, just your claim not supported by anything (as far as I can tell).
