I don't know the exact proposed rules here, but I could imagine that
without these rules anyone cann fill the namespace of nice Debian user
names. And there is the danger that someone hijacks the user name of a
Debian user who is still not on Salsa. Or an emeritus name or so.

I would also like to have a visible distinction between "trusted" names
(where the owner is verified via key) and random names, in one way or
the other.
