Everybody who is signed up in the Fedora Account system as a contributor 
has a alias regardless of whether you are using it.  Since it is just a 
alias you can continue using your gmail id.

Mike Mcgrath's post was not about eliminating all aliases just the ones 
in the firstname.lastname format. You would instead now be using the 
accountname at fedoraproject.org format.

Hope that helps.
