Investigate Bot Account Filtering in Git Metadata Generation #465

Description

@VelmiraS

What would you like to be added:
Investigate whether bot account filtering in Git metadata generation is actively used, and either make it configurable or remove it entirely.

Why is this needed / describe a real-world scenario:
Docforge currently filters out CI bot accounts that are hardcoded in the source code during Git metadata generation. A team using Docforge with their own CI bots would need to modify source code to exclude their accounts from author/last-modified metadata. Before implementing a configurable solution, we need to confirm whether this feature is actively used anywhere.

Investigation steps:

  • Locate hardcoded bot account list in the codebase
  • Determine if the filtering logic is actively triggered in any deployment
  • Check if the generated metadata is consumed anywhere (website, API, etc.)

Decision paths after investigation:

  • Remove entirely if not actively used
  • Make configurable if relevant for generic deployments
