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. |
