Slave names, really?
You can lie about your name, I suppose, but strictly speaking you're violating the stated rules and could face having your code rejected or removed: "code from anonymous (or pseudonymous) contributors will not be accepted". (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/1.Intro.html https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/1.Intro.html)
And since you mentioned GNU, would you be able to pull the same trick on a GNU project? Don't they require you to sign away your copyright, with paperwork? So you wouldn't be able to contribute to (some portions of) GNU/Linux pseudonymously.

Gallows humor. > You can lie about your name, I suppose, but strictly speaking you're violating the stated rules and could face having your code rejected or removed: "code from anonymous (or pseudonymous) contributors will not be accepted" And yet it won't be rejected or removed. The preceding sentence is "It is imperative that all code contributed to the kernel be legitimately free software." If you don't betray the project, nobody will make it a problem.
