Probably not.

There will only be less than hundred people with a single letter name in
the world (I was tempted to say 26 but decided to be generous ;-) like
that, and you will much more likely to see an overly short "name" part
from a misconfiguration or misparsing than from receiving a real patch
from people with such a name.

But I haven't thought the issues, possible improvements and pros-and-cons
through.
