I agree with Chris, I've never seen this as a requirement or even a discussion point really. That said, in svn it's not an issue, so if it were, it would be relatively recent. Regardless; I'm not sure what problem it solves. We all have employers. I imagine we all work on open source projects both inside and outside the ASF. We may or may not be sponsored by our employers to contribute to projects. Obfuscating those facts doesn't change anything in my mind. I generally prefer to use and reference my personal email because I have had several past employers, and hopefully will have several future employers. --David
