[OH-Dev] [issue960] making people safer (FSVO safer)

[Kevix]

New submission from Kevix <kevin.mark at verizon.net>:

I'd love to live in a ideal world where this isn't an issue. And I would expect 
Open Hatch to strive for a world like that and have safe spaces. People should 
be able to choose the names they want but at the same time be made aware of this 
possibly safer idea. It has been noted that the use of female-gendered nicknames 
and the use of 'real names' in places like IRC, git, etc. can lead to unwelcome 
behavior by trolls. So the use of a non-female-gendered pseudonym can be used.  
A suggestion can be made to use non-female gendered nicknames and to configure 
services like github to display similar. It might also be useful for services to 
display a nickname used on irc, so the nick on irc can be identified with the 
open hatch git bot messages.
