Like, in a lot of ways that just seems like a really odd artefact because there's no real reason for git to track either (especially when used outside of mailing lists which is the overwhelming majority of git repositories today), nor does it get used much as an enforcement mechanism. You could probably just replace "Author <email>" with any odd string and gits own internals wouldn't really break I think.
Maybe it's time to deprecate the <email> part of the commit identifier and change the name to handle or something similar.

Glitch (over count 1999)
glitch@pl.glitch.pm@drewdevault plus speaking from experience, most people don't set it to their real name or their real email specifically because of the fact they're also really easily scraped by spambots.
My current setup for git is literally to use a dud mail address (that I do own, I don't want to unleash scrape spam on some poor sod) where all incoming mail gets send to spam, just to prevent scrape from ending up in my main inbox.

I would love to hear what @luis_in_brief thinks about that. My two points:
1. Pseudonymous author is basically equivalent of giving to public domain (why I mentioned Satoshi Nakamoto). Nothing against that.
2. Transgender people: I donβt think accepting that their past names have relevance for their new life is something which they have to get over in many other areas of life not only with copyright. Deed on their home etc.
