My apologies. Let me clarify.

I wanted to make sure that "k4lizen" was the correctly configured git name to use
when the contribution is committed and attribution given. I should have asked that
question specifically.

Please note that the "real name" requirement is not a requirement for the persons
legal name or another stricter requirement. The intent is for the "real name" to 
be a known identity (if that person is using a pseudonym).

The FSF process, although allowing for psedonymous public contributions (including
using the pseudonym in the GNU Maintainers "sources" file for assignments), still
requires the person to identify themselves to the FSF and that information may
eventually leak.
