What I see is only possible way to do that is some kind of sertificate thing that would require global network of trusted fedora people (like already met in meetings) able to sign those fedora contributor certificates after checking the id documents first (against ban lists). There are around 200 countries and some have quite long distances, requiring to meet people face to face doesn't really sound very feasible. Not being feasible doesn't remove the problem however. Easier would be to write red warning into wiki that "We actually don't know who took part of building fedora, so consider yourself warned." Didn't someone just crack berlios site to inject something into projects? In fedora you don't even need to crack anything, you get invited to commit.
