So what sort of identity do you want to verify? Seriously, at the moment when I got my commit bit, noone from Gentoo had ever met me in person, and for sure noone had ever had a look at my passport or any similar legal document. The only established connection was my preexisting gpg key, which was then coupled to my gentoo account. |

As for proxy maintenance, isn't the whole point of that that the proxied maintainers are not devs and do not have (commit access | a gentoo.org user id)? I do not understand how this would prevent proxy maintenance. |

Now, e.g. overlay access is a different matter. But first things first. |
