I should point out that his parents would like his real name kept out
of the public light.  They are fine with his email (or at least one
that he is checking on a regular basis / forwards to his normal email)
being published.  Wouldn't that make him just as accessible as any
other Fedora contributor in the event he would need to be contacted?

I'm a strong believer in getting talented students involved and
excited as soon as possible.  In order to do that we do have the
obligation to protect their identity when requested.  One of the
things I respect the most about the Fedora Project is its dedication
to openness and accountability.  I'm confident we can come up with a
solution that satisfies both of these ideals.  They are both too
important to be mutually exclusive.
