Silly question: what's unknown?

Silly question: what's unknown?

How come so many contributions are from "Unknown"?

Are these patches without headers, or are they patches for which the author could be known but
it was too much work for the person writing this article?

(That's not a criticism of the article's author, I'm just wondering if it's really the case
that 19% of patches are of unknown origin.)
