Would it be interesting if Github (and others) had a program where they would verify people using the same regulations the banking industry uses for KYC (know your customer)?

Optional step for developers to show they are who they say they are?

How is that totalitarian? Bureaucratic - yes, totalitarian- hardly.
People will just buy and sell verified accounts like what happens on every platform.
No. This is a terrible idea
