That's why I think, that all patches should be signed with PGP/GnuPG or X.509 certificates. And those keys should be signed by trusted CA authorities like CAcert.org or such (identity check against official documents, not only valid mail address).

3. Come back with your Real name... it means obeying the rules, which doesn't have to be a bad thing...

Of course not, I mean, who would take a software seriously with credit contents like:
Ford Prefect    <mail>
Goldfish        <mail>

Looks like script kiddie software, crack software or something else.
Imagine movie credits with such lines.

Of course you can have a nickname, and of course you can add it to the CREDITS file:
Marc "Goldfish" Miller        <mail>

Such things you can see in serious credits (movies, games).

Shade and sweet water!
