I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough: You seemed to say that hiring a non-anonymous person would solve this problem. I meant to reply that knowing their real name does *not* solve it: Any new contributor will have to prove their skill by sending PRs for a long time, anonymous or non-anonymous. Direct push/release access and payment is not an option IMHO.
