Great! This is fairly overdue, std.regex and std.uni have proven 
utterly invaluable and he's a frequent reviewer. Congratulations 
:)

Congrats, too!

BTW, Dmitry, can you use Dmitry for your github ID, too? I often lose track of 
which handle goes with which name. I feel like I need to make a cheat sheet and 
tape it to my monitor.

Thanks, guys!

Well it would be bold of me to claim "Dmitry" like I'm the only one on 
github :)  I will consider DmitryOlshansky but it's just too long for my 
tastes.

P.S. In seriousness I hardly see a problem of tracking handles - one 
click on a handle and you have the user profile with name/surname in big 
gray letters.

You're willing to let a click stand between Walter and you? :)

Another reason to use your real name is so that your professional work becomes 
connected to your name - meaning that you control the google view of your name 
rather than someone else.

(I also recommend registering yourname.com and a twitter account in your name, 
for the same reason.)

True, but the handles tend to leak out into other contexts, too. And since, as 
you say, the handles offer no anonymity anyway, what's the point?

Github does autocomplete on handles, based on who you are connected to, so I'd 
rarely have to type more than 2 or 3 letters of a handle anyway.

Save the handles for trolling on reddit :-)

Thanks for considering the change.

I've had a pretty prolific career myself.

I'm the CEO of Best Buy, an Executive at Microsoft, a famous
cartoonist, the director of several critically acclaimed films, a
professional wrestler, an NFL football player. Oh, and I created
DSource (though I've had some extensive plastic surgery and now
look like a completely different person).

There is an upshot to having such a common name. I'm basically
ungoogleable.

For most of my life, Michael was among the top 5 given names in America, 
as was my middle name David, and Parker among the top 5 surnames. My 
parents lacked inspiration, apparently, naming me after their younger 
brothers. I long ago gave up any hope of ever using my real name in any 
uniquely identifying way on the internet. That's the reason I've kept 
'aldacron' as a handle for 15+ years.

Yeah, I was surprised he wasn't already a committer. It's pretty 
easy to overlook and humility prevents someone from bringing up 
the issue themselves. In a couple of cases all it took was me 
messaging Andrei privately, pointing out that a significant 
contributor wasn't a committer to get the ball rolling and Andrei 
took over from there (presumably putting it forward to Walter and 
possibly others for a vote or however the decision is made).

It'd probably be a good idea to peruse the contributor list 
periodically and note anyone that's getting to be a pretty 
significant contributor.

In all seriousness,

Not that we suddenly have to deal with an onslaught of angry

I think it has something to do with "committer", like he committed a  
crime. That's just a guess :)
