Interesting. My understanding is that these projects don't allow anonymous contributions to make their copyright situation clear, so in theory if marcan42 sent a letter to the linux project saying that contributions from Asahi Lina are actually theirs, they might reasonably be fine with that.

It seems like this is how the ASF runs: you can be anonymous publicly, but you have to sign their CLA (or whatever they call it) properly.

To me, the people trying to unmask Asahi Lina are being simultaneously mean and silly. If it's so obvious that it's marcan42 doing a voice, do you really need to point it out? That's kind of the joke.
