That exactly is touching the core point: Signed-off-by is about
transparency and taking responsibility for your actions, not hiding in
anonymity. It's a certification of whom the code came from and who would
be to blame if anything was wrong with that (think non-GPL-compatible
code taken from somewhere else).
Why should you be granted more privacy than us just because your name is
Chinese? There's quite a few Chinese IBM guys around that don't seem to
have any problem with this, and git would even handle UTF-8 characters
quite well if desired[*].

cpu-exec.c: Correct comment about this file and indentation cleanup
Each target uses the #define macro (in target-xxx/cpu.h) to rename
cpu_exec (cpu-exec.c) to cpu_xxx_exec, then defines its own cpu_loop
which calls cpu_xxx_exec. So basically, cpu-exec.c is not only the i386
emulator main execution loop. This patch corrects the comment of this
file and does indentation cleanup.

This discussion looks strange for me.
I'm not going to commit patches with a Signed-off-by if I know the name is an
alias.
DCO requires the use of a real name. DCO is an important part of ensuring the
pedigree of a code base just like copyright licensing.
