The options is in your account page, go to this URL inserting your  
display name in the right place (your display name is not the same as  
your email address):

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/<displayname>/account

I think there's a button at the bottom saying "Make my edits public  
forever!" or words to that effect, click that and everybody will know  
what you've done, this will also work retroactively so will start  
displaying your username for old stuff as well.
