[Mageia-dev] Contributors using real name/working email? or not? or maybe?

+Romain you forgot to specify that currently aliases are used in the Mageia
+packages and no email addresses are included.
+So the discussion started because some people wanted to change this.
+
+
+Well, I repeat my point of view as posted in the other thread:
+
+- each packager should be free to decide his identity (i.e. whether to use
+his real name or alias)
+  creating to many unnecessary rules will just alienate people and a don't
+think Mageia can afford that 
+
+- while I'm rather against having an email address in the package changelog
+entries as it encourages users to contact packagers directly via private
+email rather than going through the proper support channels, I don't
+really mind too much as long as we can use a mageia.org forwarding email
+address (which would be the best anyway since it would make the package
+look more official)
