from that of the project you are accustomed to.
[[real-name]]
Also notice that a real name is used in the `Signed-off-by` trailer. Please
don't hide your real name.
Please use a known identity in the `Signed-off-by` trailer, since we cannot
accept anonymous contributions. It is common, but not required, to use some form
of your real name. We realize that some contributors are not comfortable doing
so or prefer to contribute under a pseudonym or preferred name and we can accept
your patch either way, as long as the name and email you use are distinctive,
identifying, and not misleading.
The goal of this policy is to allow us to have sufficient information to contact
you if questions arise about your contribution.
