I'll ask again that the active Github users use their own name, and add to that
if you could have a selfie as your github image.
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.
