Update the signoff rules of GLEP 76 to allow using established |
| 2 |
pseudonyms in addition to legal names. This follows a similar change |
| 3 |
that has been carried in the Linux kernel's documentation [1] that |
| 4 |
Gentoo's policy has been based on. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
This change is proposed instead of the "version 1.2" that has been |
| 7 |
approved on 2022-12-11 but have not been pushed yet. That version made |
| 8 |
the wording significantly more complex without actually addressing |
| 9 |
the original issue. |
