My understanding is that he isn't requesting to remain anonymous to
the Fedora Project.  He's requesting that his name not be used in
places visible to the Internet at large.  I'm not suggesting that we
allow anonymous contributions.  I'm looking for a way to keep the
personal data of a minor available to only fp members or a subset of
members.  I do feel its important that all contributions be connected
to an actual person.  Does that mean we have to broadcast that name to
the rest of the Internet?
