Nicks are too ambiguous and reserved for FreeBSD committers by default (this is not an rule, but rather established historical practice). Using "informal" names also creates bad precedent, like it's OK to use bogus names like "Anonymous" (when it's not anonymous submittion, e.g. with email address; we have some of them already -- looks awful) or "4v1l h4c|<3r". > BTW there are other ports(not many I admit) with nicknames not > present @freebsd.org so I thought it was allowed practice to use > nicknames too. What if a contributor expresses preference for > inserting just a nickname there? Personally I think we should require standard full name (with optional decorations like III, .Sr, etc.) and politely ask why would one want to conceal it. After all, we require it when granting a commit bit. As a last resort, there is anonymity option for those who prefer not to reveal their full name. ./danfe
