Did I well understand or there's some workaround to post a patch with for example, invented Name Surname to prevent real ones to be public? No problem with post my real infos, but I usually prefer to rest anonymous, so I'd like to know if there are also "anonymous alternatives" to submit. Could you explain that a little better? In the meantime I will preapre a patch submission message trying to stay as closer as possible to "the canonical patch format". Thanks again for your suggests!
