Clarify "real name" in contributor requirements #1886

Open tulir opened 1 week ago

tulir commented 1 week ago

This updates the sign-off requirements to match what most other matrix-org and element-hq repos already have. The change was first made in synapse: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/3467

Same change in matrix-spec-proposals: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4160

Preview: https://pr1886--matrix-spec-previews.netlify.app

For reference, matrix-spec(-proposals) and rageshake are the only active matrix-org repos using the old wording: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Amatrix-org+%22unfortunately+pseudonyms+and+anonymous+contributions%22&type=code (the others are old deprecated projects)

Most projects (synapse, dendrite, matrix-rust-sdk, mjolnir, sygnal, etc) are using the new wording: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Amatrix-org+%22contributions+under+a+legally+identifiable+name%22&type=code
