+I think we should require an email address, and a full name (which is
+recommended to be the real name, but not necessary).
+
+And I also think we should display the full name and the email address
+in the rpm changelog :
+ - it's easier to recognize people with their name
+ - it's better to give credit with their name and email
+ - it's easier if you need to contact the author of a package when you
+ have their email
+ - people who don't want to be contacted should not be packagers
+ - people who don't want their real name to be public can use an other
+ name
+
+And I don't think we should add an option to select whether to display
+the full name or not, because it requires a lot of work, a lot of
+software don't support it, and we probably have more useful work to do
+when there is already a simple solution available (using an other name
+instead of your real name).
