Yes, I am afraid if you want to continue to contribute to LyX we
would like to have your full name on GPL statement.

Generally we want to be on a safer side against any kind of copyright
claims or trolling and accepting code from anonymous or obviously fake
identities does not help with such position.

If you don't wish to expose your real name on the public list,
there is way around to give it privately to few senior devs around,
but it's additional burden to keep track of such things so think
twice please.
