Hi,

To the community : Should we accept pure pseudo "identifications"
in Debian ? I must say that this trend would not make me happy at
all.
FWIW: We already have several developers working under pseudonyms.
Yes, that's known. Thanks for pointing that to me.
I am curious why one would want to scrupulously hide his/her identity in a
project like Debian. Are there people willing to teach me this human (i.e.
non-technical) aspect of the Debian community?
My lack of understanding might be related to the fact that I have known the
internet/bitnet since its very inception, where these pseudos and other
anonymization methods did not exist or at least were largely not sought for (I
discovered bitnet in the mid 80s, when I was exchanging emails with friends in
the european scientific community). I understand the need for anonymity in the
wild, but in a technico/social project that is open by design like Debian, this
is much more unclear to me.
I insist on the fact that I am not making a judgment here, I am just trying to
get more informed on ways of doing things and on ways to deal with social
relationships...
Cheers,
Filippo
