I am also for real email addresses. If someone wants to use 
userid at dev.openembedded.org as commit one I am fine as long as this 
alias works as email. Now I do most of OE related job during my OH hours 
so I would prefer to commit as hrw at o-hand.com and as 
openembedded at haerwu.biz for my own stuff. In both situations there will 
be real name attached to email so it should not be a problem to contact 
me.
