We do have the option in most places to use a real name just its not
enabled in core, AFAIK without testing its used in most places where
the username is used already, If you find anywhere where it can be
useful, file a bug!

Are you talking about the upstream packages, the MW release or your
extension for this? You can do it if you want, we have TAGS to do
extensions based on versions and such (the Semantic* extensions so
