Ask HN: Is it important to put your name and face to your open source project?

Hey HN, about a month ago, I launched an open source project [1]. So far, the traction has been pretty good (398 stars on Github so far).

One interesting thing that has happened is that three different people have asked to know who actually made the project. Now, I have almost no personal web presence (no Twitter, no portfolio Github, no personal website, etc). I am generally just a recluse in real life and and the web. I also don't have any previous experience maintaining open source projects to actually answer my own question.

Therefore, I would really appreciate some discussion around this issue, hopefully from people with experience.
