I disagree here. For one, we already force people to use their real
name instead of any pseudonym or fake name. Since we're already asking
them to use their real name for legal reasons (without the real name,
the DCO is moot), then it is not adding much more constraint to require
the naming to follow a certain convention that makes it easier to
identify the contributors.

So, no, we are not going to let people identify the way they want to,
simply because the DCO does not allow that. If you want to do that,
then you should stop asking people to sign-off their patches.

Best regards,

Thomas
