How do we enforce that? What if Wong, Adele or Beyonce submit a patch?

What happens if that patch gets reposted, with S-o-b: He Liang
<windhl at 126.com> or Hel Iang, Heli Ang? Do you know any of those are
real names? What happens if they post a real name in
Mandarin/Thai/Cyrillic, can you validate it?

Really we require you have an identity attached to an email. If there
is a problem in the future, we'd prefer the email continues to work so
that you are contactable. If you are submitting a small amount of
changes it's probably never going to matter. If you are submitting
larger bodies of work of course it would be good to have a company or
larger org attached to track things down legally later, but again that
isn't always possible.

I don't think alienating the numerous developers who no longer use
their legal names are identified by one name, but haven't changed
their legal one yet people who get married and change their legal name
but don't change their contribution name and I could run this sentence
on forever.
