I’m not sure myself. I think on the range of that I wish contributors were is some form of known identity but that doesn’t have to be specific form of one. Some form of social contract that when you contribute you are not someone who will disappear. However it looks like that’s something that not everyone subscribes to any more.
I would love to know how the kernel and other projects approach this nowadays. Their contribution guides imply an abstract sense of identity but it doesn’t describe much what this entails.
