It's not the default for a few reasons:
o It can take a _long_ time to run
o Linus Torvalds is still the "author of record"
for all the files in the initial commit
o For files with activity, it doesn't add very
much useful as old commit authors do also tend
to show up in the new commits.
o It can show maintainers that are no longer
active.
