They also used a bunch of other fake names (Jigar Kumar, Dennis Ens) for the personas that put social pressure on the original maintainer. And the ifunc changes were done by one "Hans Jansen" who also later opened merge request to Debian. These are fairly eclectic names with no pattern, which was the point I guess. We don't know what level of misdirection is going on with the names, so "Jia Tan" is interesting but not particularly meaningful either way.
- ahartmetz 2y agoI would argue that Hans Jansen and Dennis Ens (and Jigar Kumar? I don't know about Indian perceptions of names) are a a bit off as well. They contain rhymes that make them sound slightly silly. Most parents would want to avoid these. Maybe chosen to avoid matching real people while still seeming commonplace. So these names seem somewhat similar to "Jia Tan" in their almost-but-not-quite real quality.
