It's my idea.  It serves a couple functions.  It provides a crude
(automatically tested, plut really tested in real life) documentation as to
how to use various bits of config.  This latter feature isn't an ideal form
of documentation, but at least it is guaranteed to always be in sync with
whatever version of xmonad-contrib you've got.  Some of us (mostly me)
don't have time to write good documentation (actually, I don't have time to
write as much xmonad code as I do), so this provides the hints needed for
someone else to use.  And hopefully some of these configs will actually be
useful to users who want the same or a similar config.  By attaching
personal names to the configs, we give the named person the freedom to make
the configuration useful at least to himself or herself, which means that
every config there is useful for at least one person, which is more than we
can say for the default configuration.
