I'm opposed. I never type my committer name - I don't even know what it is (martin.v.loewis, martin.vonloewis, martin.von.loewis, something else?). In the tracker, I have to type my account name, so I need to remember. I have been using "loewis" as my account name in the net for nearly two decades now, so I have little interest in starting to have different account names, now. > (This doesn't even need to be done by the individual users, I would > volunteer to rename all committer accounts and notify them by email that > their name changed.

Every user will have to configure ~/.hgrc, which should list a single name/email address pair, to be used for all Mercurial repositories. So I put "Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de>" into .hgrc, which is my name and my email address. It's not the same as the tracker name or the subversion committer name; it can't possibly be (since it comes from an entirely different namespace).
