Subject: [gentoo-dev] [PATCH] glep-0076: Require real name instead of legal name
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2022 00:28:49
Message-Id: 20220712002836.20274-1-cyber+gentoo@sysrq.in
1 This patch uses more friendly language towards potential transgender
2 and plural contributors.

4 No other projects require to use a legal name, e.g. Linux says to use
5 your real name[0].
6
7 Government issued documents are really a bad example since in some
8 countries it's really hard to get your name changed there.
