The Linux kernel recently changed the wording of "real names" to "known identities" (see commit d4563201f33a022fc035, 2023-02-26, Linus Torvalds: "Documentation: simplify and clarify DCO contribution example language"). In fact, we already credit contributors in our Git history by names that are probably not their "real names". Follow the reasoning in the kernel guidelines in that regard, and adapt our wording accordingly.
