[Mesa-dev] Requiring a full author name when contributing to mesa?

[Timothy Arceri]

Hi,

So it seems lately we have been increasingly merging patches with made 
up names, or single names etc [1]. The latest submitted patch has the 
name Icecream95. This seems wrong to me from a point of keeping up the 
integrity of the project. I'm not a legal expert but it doesn't seem 
ideal to be amassing commits with these type of author tags from that 
point of view either.

Is it just me or do others agree we should at least require a proper 
name on the commits (as fake as that may be also)? Seems like a low bar 
to me.
