If this is your personal .rpmmacros file, why not just spell out your
name in full?
um ... that's what the "customize to taste" directive above was for.

I don't use that because unpackaged files are usually the sign of a
packaging problem that I'd rather fix than ignore. If there's a good
reason for the unpackaged file, I'd rather put the macro in the
affected spec file so it just applies to that package.
i believe it was mike harris who, once upon a time, wrote a piece on
this issue. i'll see if i can dig it up, but he did make a case for
it, IIRC.
