Does removing attribution constitute a GPLv3 violation?

This has happened to me a number of times. People fork a GitHub project of mine only to remove the attribution where my name appears. I find it to be rude.

Example: https://github.com/Fordeer/2fa-qr/commit/c2c5321ddb6b5f00246f52fef1cb6977c39c7352

The project is licensed under GPLv3 and there is a LICENSE file in the repository. Besides being bad behavior, is this violating the license?
