Does the upstream linux kernel require a CLA? Or CLA model is closely modeled on apache, I wonder if Apache allows it. But regardless... let's figure out what exactly are we talking about in context. We are talking about not making the real name of a person publically known. All the same information is in the FAS system, including the person's name, physical address and phone number. Out of all the personal identifying information the only thing we currently leak through publically accessible interfaces is the peron's real name. If we, on request, allowed a nickname to be displayed in place of the real name how is that less accountable? We rely primarily on emails and irc nicks for the majority of communication for day-to-day business. That stuff has absolutely no correlation with a person's real name, even the fas account name is not required to encode the person's real name. If there was ever a problem that required tracking down a contributor, we would be relying on privileged information to do it... either the phone number or the physical address... things we aren't making publically searchable. -jef"fakemaxspevack"spaleta _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
