IMO this is fairly tangential to the WoT issue.
However, I'll point out the main issue with allowing pseudonyms is
that it basically reduces skin in the game. People are probably less
likely to treat each other terribly if it will result in them never
getting another job. On the other hand, people will behave better if
they know their reputation within Gentoo will translate into better
opportunities for them in the real world.
If somebody has a serious need for anonymity and safety, chances are
that some friendly government is already going to give them a new
name, but failing that perhaps exceptions could be made on an
individual basis. I don't think the simple desire to remain anonymous
ought to be one of them.
