       Oh for fucks sake, OpenWrt has a real name policy, it looks like they won't even look at your PR unless your commit author name, committer name, and signed-off-by name contain a space.EDIT: to be clear, I don't actually know what regex their bot is using and if it actually is about space, or if they have some other rule to tell "real names" from pseudonymsEDIT2: to be clear, I haven't submitted my PRs yet, only judging by how other people's PRs have been treated

       @wolf480pl Huh, mononyms are a thing.But well falsehoods programmers believe about names.

       @lanodan ok so I don't 100% know what regex or other rules they use, but I saw PRs that used an alphanumeric username that got tagged as "not following gujidelines" by an apparently deterministic bot

       @xarvos @wolf480pl True and true, although probably common for even ones using their native script to still put a space when software is involved.

       @lanodan @xarvos or just use latin transliteration of their names

       @ellenor2000 I don't think they're worth the effort of actually checking that. Like, it's probably less effort to maintain a downstream package repo than to change my legal name in Poland and then bother them on the mailing list.

       @xarvos @wolf480pl Wow, linux's CREDITS and MAINTAINERS files only have latin script names.

       @lanodan @xarvos does it have any non-ascii characters?

       @wolf480pl @xarvos Yeah, "Benoît Cousson" for example.Although there's also a funny one: "G\"unter Windau"(Picked from the CREDITS file)

       @ellenor2000Also I don't think Poland allows digits in legal names, and I don't think that's unreasonable.

       @ellenor2000 basically my point is, OpenWrt's developers' parents should've taught them "never use your real name on the internet"

       @6they've had many mailing list discussions on that topic which I havent read through most of them yet.One of the arguments I saw in the latest one is that German copyright does not allow copyright assignment (good) so you must always credit the original author even if you have a license to do whatever you want with the code.But live in Poland, and my country's copyright law explicitly allows publishing works under a pseudonym.

       @lanodan @xarvos I found the regex! It's unicode-aware!/^[\p{L}'.-]+(?: [\p{L}'.-]+)+$/u

       @wolf480pl But it doesn't check if it's actually your real name, so you could be Wolf Poland?

       @wolf480pl I think it's funny that the software is essentially forcing you to create weird alt accounts that sound like real people but actually aren't.

       @sjbMore like, it's forcing me to rewrite git history to make it more difficult to find out who made the changes...
