We do require full real names (i.e. no nicknames). Can Mercurial guarantee such a thing? We could pre-record the list of allowed names in a hook, then have the hook check that usernames include one of those names and an email address (so people can still start using another email address).

But that won't work if people who are not core developers submit us patch bundle to import. And maintaining a such white-list sounds to me more burdensome than necessary.
