Re-reading the doc, "Sign your work - the Developer's Certificate of Origin"
states that:
...
using a known identity (sorry, no anonymous contributions.)
The key here is "sorry, no anonymous contributions.)", but your github handle is
anonymous, in a way. I am not a lawyer, but that is how I interpret it.
Nevertheless, some googling is telling me that pseudonyms like a github user
name are OK. Personally, I do prefer and appreciate peoples giving their full
name, but if you prefer your github handle, that is fine.
