Well, we cannot force people to give their "real" name if they don't
want to. Everyone is free to choose and everyone can have his own
reasons. Refusing to give credits or to add someone to the contributors
list cause he prefers to not give his real name will not give a positive
image of the project.
On the other hand, what are we calling a "real name"? Something that
looks like a "person name"? It can be a fake...
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough, of course, I didn't mean to force
anybody to do anything, I would just explain that it is a virtue and
that we would prefer if contributors gave us their real names. And of
course, I wouldn't remove any of those who don't want to do so or just
don't reply, just the bouncing entries.
This seems like a useful thing to do, and a small chunk of work for
someone with a bit of spare time. If you feel like doing it then
that's fine. Otherwise, just let me know and I'll do it.
I'm willing to do it but unfortunately I don't have time to do it until
the end of the next week (SoC + university exams). If you feel like
doing it and you have some spare time, I'd be grateful to you if you did
it. I just explained above how I imagined it, i.e. no forcing, just
telling the preference and the advantages of being listed with the real
name. I hope this doesn't seem offending to anyone.
