I think that [2] (which is referenced in the Linux commit [3]) clarifies
the idea very well:

   "... the name you convey to people in the community for them to use
   to identify you as you. The key concern is that your identification
   is sufficient enough to contact you if an issue were to arise in the
   future about your contribution."

Yes, if the pseudonym qualifies as a known identity.
