It's not security by obscority: it's fixed, after all. Thanks to Fabian.

And I'm sorry if I don't follow your (or anyone else's) rules how git
should be used. In the lwIP past a commit message (or CHANGELOG message)
stating the patch author has been enough. And I didn't see yet why git
should change this. This is lwIP, not linux.
(Anyone who wants their authorship included is free to send a patch with
all information required included.)
