Please see commit d4563201f33a022fc0353033d9dfeb1606a88330 [1] and DCO 
Guidelines [2]

that language was never meant to be any kind of exclusionary wording.


 > A real name does not require a legal name, nor a birth name, nor any 
name that appears on an official ID (e.g. a passport). Your real name is 
the name you convey to people in the community for them to use to 
identify you as you. The key concern is that your identification is 
sufficient enough to contact you if an issue were to arise in the future 
about your contribution.
