Or does it have to be a full name? Honestly, based on this long discussion, I really don't think we can take any contribution from you without having someone else verify that the the name you use here is correct. Please work with the kernel.org ring-of-trust to get a valid signature added to it and then I'll be glad to reconsider. And note, I'm not singling you out at all, we have recently had to do this for many new contributors. thanks, greg k-h
