Hi all,
I know the official guidelines explicitly state that when submitting
patches to the kernel the contributions must be signed with a real name
and e-mail address, the reasons for this seem to be clear to me.
The guidelines are less explicit when it comes to the tested-by field.
Is it out of question to test a contribution and report the result using
a pseudonym, even if it comes with a valid e-mail address?
Thanks

No, please use real names for tested-by whenever possible as well.
