As far as I can tell, they are just not logged in.  It isn't like they
are logged in with a pseudonym.

Unless I'm missing something, this is not going to work as-is.  We
need some way for contributors to get recognition for their
contributions, and that depends on having accurate records.

I'd also question the IP side of this.  What is to prevent someone
today from anonymously entering  thousands of LGPLed strings from
LibreOffice?   We need at least a confirmed email address and a click
through agreement, similar to what we have on wiki, BZ, etc.
