I'll ask again that the active Github users use their own name,

It avoids when people who post as "Fred" on the newsgroup
submit PRs as "HorseWrangler" and get annoyed when I don't
realize they are the same person, and then I overlook them at
the conference because I have no idea what they look like.
In today's surveillance state, the government already knows
your name and what you look like, so being anonymous on github
is a bit pointless, as if anyone cares that you are interested
in D. I can understand if you're a celebrity or want nobody to
know you're a dog, but that doesn't apply to most of us.

May be worth mentioning archiving sites like gmane that seem to
love making your stupid questions/statements your #1 google
search result. Excellent way to make an impression on future
employers... ;)
