We've seen a patch signed off by \"Mansi\", sent from a\nperson with e-mail accout \"Mansi Singh\" via GitGitGadget, and now an\nintroduction sent by \"Mansi Maanu\", signed \"Mansi\", identifying\nhearself as \"Mansi Singh\".\n\nIt is a bit too confising.\n\nI presume that \"Mansi Singh\" is the most official name you want to\npresent yourself as to this community?  If so, please use that as\nthe author identity and on the Signed-off-by: line of your patches. \n\nAnyway, welcome to the community.\n"}]}
