The issues of the original copyright policy as approved belonged
in the specific threads prior to its approval.  If you failed to raise
your voice in those threads, you have only yourself to blame.  If you
expressed it and it wasn't considered justified, then I'm sorry but
that's all.

This thread is merely about a specific wording change addressing
specific issue.  If you have anything to add regarding this change or
the issue in question, please say it.  If you don't, then please stop
hijacking this thread.

If you really believe the wider aspect of pseudonymous developers needs
being discussed again, please start a separate thread on that topic
and/or prepare a GLEP update for review.  However, please be prepared to
*justify* your changes with actual arguments and explanation why you
need to do this rather than expecting us to justify requiring you to
follow the same rules as everybody else in Gentoo.
