FWIW, the reason that my IP address rather than username was logged
on that page was simply that there was nothing that reminded me to
log in.  I forgot.  It's annoying when I forget; things I did don't
wind up in my list of contributions so I may forget to follow-up
later.

Since that time I've revamped the page to point at things people
are actually talking about and moved the discussion of differences
between r4 and r5 to the discussion area on the page about differences
from r4 to r5.
