I'm listening and will try to provide a patch the follows the ideas
given by upstream shortly.

As an dokuwiki administrator, I think it's fooling people to say that
their real name will not be shown and then only have that done half
way.  It did catch me by surprise when I noticed real names when
following the feed of my site.  It's fine to say that people should
use pseudonyms, and I also think there should be some consistency in
the software's behavior.
