I think this is a pretty straightforward improvement, going to merge it in right ahead. |

CONTRIBUTING.md didn't make our rule for requiring real names from contributors clear enough. This commit shall clarify that part. Reviewed-By: Jeremiah Senkpiel <fishrock123@rocketmail.com> PR-URL: #1250

Actually I'm -1 on this, it's not straight forward, some people prefer to use pseudonyms and there's no reason to force a real name out of these people, this change could be interpreted as policy. See #606 for an example for this. |
|
Ah, I was under the impression it was a hard rule as I was requested to change my user.name on my first contribution (#483 (comment)). If this is a remnant from node.js days, I'm all for dropping it. |

@rvagg should this be reverted? |
|
Please. Real names are slippery beasts and I really don't want to use the one that is still my legal name. There is no reason to. |

This should hopefully make it more clear that git's
user.nameshould be set to the real name before committing a pull request. I'm open to suggestions of witty placeholder names ;)related: #1246
