Given that he hides those behind fake commit message (unless one counts removing a comment or a whitespace "code refactoring), I would say rather likely.
In this commit the guy deletes two spaces from a file, and adds copyright for his name at the top. Going through his commits has made me extremely shocked. I mean how did such low quality commits made it into the master branch of the repo. It is like these commits were invisible to all the visitors and users of the repo.
