They are not anonymous. You just can't see their nickname.
If they log in and agree to the contributor terms their edits will be 
contained in the ODbL version of the planet.

Here is a list of changesets of agreeing users still listed as anonymous 
UID 0

Users not agreeing or not responding have to be treated the same way, 
regardless of their nick known or not.
