1. I see no reliable way for the Tryton maintainer, to proof the real
name of a natural person. This rule imply for me, that the maintainer
must proof names from case to case.
2. This rule dictates organizational structures for development teams
to one addressee. If a contribution is the work of a group, I find you
must address the group and not a single natural person.

No,
because not practicable.
1. Maintainer must test every contribution if it contains an email
which works.
2. How long need the email address work? Just for the day of the
commit, two weeks or forever?
3. What to do when an email address changes? If we can not find the
addressee of an email address any longer.
> - The contributor email must be linked to only one contributor name
No,
because not practicable.
Same arguments from above, plus: This rule does not respect
contributions from development teams. This rule shrinks down the
possibilities to get in touch with the author(s). If the only
addressee of a group disappears, we loose the complete contact to the
group.
> - The domain of contributor email must not contain tryton
Slightly tending Yes,
but even not practicable.
For me the name Tryton is reserved as a name for the Tryton
project. The whole project is 'business-related' by most
topic and most contributors. I do not find it a good idea to name a
company any-Tryton-thing-like. When I say 'Tryton' I do not like to
explain every time that I mean Tryton the project and not Tryton1 inc.
or Tryton2 inc.
> - The username of mercurial patch must be in the form:

No,
because I do not understand the reasons.
For me the whole topic produces a lot of irritation.
We are talking about contributions. A contribution is in first sight a
gift from someone to the project. Not everything is a gift we wanted
to have. E.g. we all do not like crappy code this much. So we should
make contributions as easy as possible, by following the path we
already go with the bug-tracker, forum/mailing list, guidelines/
blueprints in the wiki, and code review.
But I do not see a reason for rejecting a contribution because of a
formal aspect on the user name entry of a mercurial-only patch. If
code, target and license of the patch are okay.
So I ask all: Why Tryton project need such rules?
If I read on the Django project contributing page[1],
I can not find anything targeting the topic 'form of the user name and
e-mail address in a contribution patch', but a lot of information how
to get involved.
