Hey, 

ever since bug #900857 it should be allowed to commit using pseudonyms to our repos. For example, 
"Signed-off-by: juippis <juippis@gentoo.org>" should be valid now, but it's blocked by git hooks.

bug 882435 should probably be addressed at the same time.

Ping.

If the git hooks don't comply with our GLEPs, I believe they should be disabled.

The error you get when you try would be helpful.

ahh I suspect its:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/infra/githooks.git/tree/local/update-06-copyright

And we either need to drop this entirely, or add an 'alias' field of some kind to LDAP so we can match to LDAP users for developer SOB.

I'm not entirely sure what controls are wanted anymore, raised this in -council for the moment.
