Both pieces of information are important.  If I am not mistaken, the
guys doing the license change have a list of all method *versions*,
and thus can find all methods that each person contributed to, not
just the last person who touched each method.

Without such information, it is hard to figure out who people are from
their initials.  For lot of the names I recognize, I do not know the
initials.

I agree the number is not so important to post.  However, the list of
methods seems pretty innocuous.  Would anyone have their feelings hurt
by having the list of Squeak methods they have hacked be posted?
