No, surely thats worse that I'd just go and subvert the thing?

The plan is that you can throw a switch from your user page to make your 
identity known for all the contributions you make. It's a one-way switch 
for obvious reasons. Similarly for licensing your work to the foundation 
so people clearly only have to credit OSMF rather than 8 gazillion names.

If you want to see more coding, then there are many tasks I do that 
could be taken over like organising parties etc. I'm going to try and do 
coding while people are out mapping @ bristol.

have fun,
