All this to say that, in my opinion unknownbbqrx [off-list ref]

would say it complies with the rules.
It's a username on github and not a nickname. I did a search for
"unknownbbqr" and it doesn't come up anywhere but Google tries to find
similar matches which brings me to an OnlyFans account :-p

It *DOES NOT* qualify because there's no accountability for this. For
people who have a nickname as their entire internet persona, sure, I'll
take patches from them as there's an entity that exists behind it. But
I'm not going to take some username on github as a persona. To me,
that's still anonymous.
