By the the "best effort" policy we mean best effort on our part to know real identity of the contributor, not how we treat his name, cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Due_diligence https://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg195648.html That's the legal part. Last time when we talked about this, the major issue was rather social aspect -- that we want to know who we are collaborating with. > Does anyone disagree with this policy?

I think you are too bureaucratic by trying to declare all this stuff, anyway couple of long-term core devs are enough :) Pavel
