? It has. For the start, it simply uses our existing big data of valid real 
names (a.k.a. identity.kde.org). For registered persons pushing, that would 
cover validating their name.
And as nice bonus prevent unwanted accidental use of private data (like 
private/company email address or private user name).

For unregistered persons, that validation would be shifted to the person doing 
the commit (!= author), who then would do the validation on their account.

So this would actually implement what you ask for: no guess work about valid 
names.

Cheers
