Never mind names, in a perfect world I want the orcid of all the contributors who have one. In that same perfect world all sage contributors have one. This is scientific output and authorship and uniquely identifying authors is what orcid is for.

    Wouldn't it be easier to automate (and more respectful to the
    privacy concerns of contributors) to simply link to the github
    handle/profile?


GitHub profiles don't always have real names.

                Has there been already a decision how we incorporate the

                I think that this is rather important, because not
                making a decision will probably also be a decision -
                there are already several new pull requests.

                Personally, I am very much for continuing the tradition
                of real names, but it is not clear to me whether there
                is a mapping between user name and real name on github
                anyway, which would make this information redundant.  Is
                the "Name" in a github account optional?


            yes, names are optional on GitHub, so we will need some kind
            of mapping to keep.

            We can also get names of authors and reviewers in the PR
            description enforced by a bot.
            We can also require this info to be put in a special
            textfile to be collected at merging time and put into a
            changelog file.
            (amending changelog directly is prone to conflicts).
