Maybe I didn't get the zero vetting part, then. I thought I did, but
apparently not. What does that mean in this context? Google isn't
telling me.
It means that if you had said "John Doe" or "Jane Smith" Frank would
have likely rejected your name as well.
Of course you could have given a plausible name or even a fake name that
he would not recognize (e.g. in Italy "Mario Rossi" is frequently used
this way), but at some point you have to trust the other person's good
faith.
I don't know if anyone is using fake names in the FSF copyright list. I
think the FSF would be *very* upset if that was the case, and might go
as far as vetting the contributions of the user and removing them. If
someone used a fake name when explicitly asked for a real name, why
should I trust him to not violate copyright?
