Is material copyrightable under a nickname, instead of a realname?

Yes, in all jurisdictions I am aware of. It's called a pseudonym and
tends to be explicitly recognized by copyright laws.

but I don't think is is usable in open source.
Editors/publishers are required to know the real name, which is
impossible on copyleft (per definition anybody could become publisher,
and the program must still be distributable)
