An individuals anonymity does not take precedence over a professional supply chain that requires transparency, especially in the context of Top-N packages. The Linux kernel is one such example that does not accept anonymous contributions.
- dividedbyzero 4y ago> An individuals anonymity does not take precedence over a professional supply chain that requires transparency An individual may choose to not be an unpaid yet completely exposed part of such a professional supply chain, to be pressured and shamed in real life by whoever sees fit to do so. There should be such a supply chain, by all means, run by companies for companies with paid or otherwise fairly compensated contributors, vetted and named and identified and badged and protected by corporate legal, but I'm quite sure forcing the wider open source community into that mold would destroy most of what makes it so successful.

You want to build your "professional supply chain" out of code by individual contributors who just want to share with the world? That's fine, but don't go thinking you can make demands of them just because you wanted to build a business on their good will.
