$ git shortlog | grep Lenka tells me otherwise.

This thread is applicable to everybody contributing to the FreeIPA git
repo, so maybe developer was a poor choice of wording.

Indeed, I missed that. However, the cited page only states:

"If the patch adresses a ticket in Trac, the last line of the commit
should be the URL to that ticket."

which does not provide instructions in the case when the corresponding
ticket does not exist.
