We already do, but I would be lying if I said this makes me comfortable
as a general trend.
Note: I have nothing against "unit 193" specifically, this is a general
issue. So, I am *not* speaking against his/her acceptance as a DM or
DD.
I would be comfortable enough with pseudonym use by DMs as long as the
DAMs and project leader know their real identities (and that said
identities were verified). IMHO, it is also acceptable for that
information to be kept permanently private and known only to the DAMs
and project leaders, but it does need to be forwarded to new DAMs and
project leaders.
i.e. something like the policy described in:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-newmaint/2009/07/msg00044.html
Even with such provisions, I feel pseudonyms ought to be kept as rare
exceptions, reserved to those that *prove* (to the project leader and
DAMs) to have very good, very strong reasons to *need* to keep their
real world identities hidden.
