We accept contributions under a legally identifiable name, such as

your name on government documentation or common-law names (names

``git commit``, having first set ``user.name`` and ``user.email`` git configs

flag to ``git commit``, which uses the name and email set in your

``user.name`` and ``user.email`` git configs.
