I'll limit my time investment.  At least it'll be easily usable for a
while.  I just argued if you don't, people won't take the time to take
your name out and where will that leave you -- chasing them down?

Using a distributed version control system like git makes this sort of issue less of a problem. If those managing the main repo choses to push problematic changes you 1) make them aware of the problem, 2) make your repo public and 3) pull any unencumbered contributions from the central repo.
