Note that the document says: >=20 > "using a known identity (sorry, no anonymous contributions.)" Thanks Tomas for chipping in! Just adding some information, the username unknownbbqr is in fact a valid username for a Github account. The user already sent a patch and updated it with a real name [1]. All this to say that, in my opinion unknownbbqrx is NOT an anonymous contribution, just a nickname that differs from the legal name of this person (which we wouldn't validate anyway), so I would say it complies with the rules.
