I imagine once we've worked out the svn -> git transition, we could
submit a packaging request to any distros which don't currently have
motion in their repositories.

We'll add this to the workflow discussion once Kenneth is ready to
tackle it.

I'm going to answer this question in a general way, not specific to
motion.  First, understand that I'm the same way.  For *years* I only
gave my first name with emails.  I also had/have a separate email alias
for each mailing list I'm on, including an alias for each business I
have ever given my email address to [1].  To facilitate this, I've run my
own mail server and use email clients (mutt, k-9, etc) that allow me to
alter the From: header per email.

My main point with explaining that background is this: I understood that
*I* was the paranoid one, so the burden was on me to protect my privacy.
I felt it unreasonable to ask others to incur extra work on my behalf.

Just my 2 cents.

This will be another discussion point on the workflow changes.

thx,

Jason.

[1] Currently, "grep 'jason$' /etc/mail/aliases | wc -l" yields 477.
Yikes.
