Ok I clarify : Let say his name is Robert Redford and his email is nickname@somewhere.com. Let say that everybody know him as and call him nickmane. So his gpg uid is nickmane <nickname@somewhere.com>. His email does not contain something that looks like a name. I am sure he is nickname but the ID check is useless. > If he's trying to become a DD, he will need to have a PGP key that has > his real, legal name on it, with a valid email address, and this key > must be signed by an existing DD.

In my understanding I can but that mean that the NM process is flawless in this regard and is going to reject his key.
