gnome baker adds user's name to disk meta data without asking

Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnomebaker

Gnome baker automatically adds a user's name to the meta data of each disk a user burns, without telling them. (You can see this only when selecting the third tab in the overloaded burn dialog.)

This could be a security risk to the user in an anonymity-bound context.

What would you expect to be added there? Leave it empty?

Either leave it empty, or move it to a more prominent place.
As this does not seem to be a very important feature, I don't think a more prominent place would be appropriate, though.

Maybe it could be left empty, but with a toggle (e.g. checkbox) "Always add my name here". Then, gnomebaker would remember the inserted value (could be a pseudonym or something similar) instead of getting the name from the OS.
