I'm fine with that.
I would like to clarify this in the Development.lyx manual. Does anyone
disagree with the following policy?
If a contributor of a patch would like to remain anonymous, our
policy is that they can reveal their identity privately to a LyX
developer. The LyX developers will make their best effort to never
use the real name of the contributor in public correspondence.
Does anyone disagree with this policy? Should they send their email to
one/two LyX developers or to develop...@lyx.org?
