Martin Elster's post back in Aug '02 already had just about all of the necessary info...: ''' I had just been reading about Luther Blissett, and this name is a sort of umbrella name that is available for anyone that is interested, and that has been used in different "underground" projects and pranks, especially in Italy. ''' Add other well-known facts, such as the fact that Bologna is or was a hotbed of situationist pranks, Umberto Eco is a professor at Bologna University, Umberto Eco's best-known historical novels from "The Name of the Rose" onwards may be interestingly compared with Luther Blissett's "Q", and so forth, and I'm sure you can design a perfectly adequate conspiracy theory.
