glep-0076: Relax name policy to allow pseudonyms Update the signoff rules of GLEP 76 to allow using established pseudonyms in addition to legal names. This follows a similar change that has been carried in the Linux kernel's documentation [1] that Gentoo's policy has been based on. This change is proposed instead of the "version 1.2" that has been approved on 2022-12-11 but have not been pushed yet. That version made the wording significantly more complex without actually addressing the original issue.
