I really see that as a bad thing, not a good thing. It's like enabling 
some crazy shit and making it official.

If you don't want to reveal your real name, use a fake address. Just don't 
expect anybody to want to work with you. 

The LAST thing we want is built-in git support for doing f*cking stupid 
things.  You can do stupid things with it on your own without us helping 
and encouraging you.
