I'm not entirely sure why you'd ever need to use her real name on-wiki. She's known as Durova, as much as I am known as Majorly/Al Tally. I use my real name on these lists and some other places, but never on-wiki, and personally I'd prefer people didn't use it.

It's the same with me - anyone who receives an email from me, including the mailing list will know my real name. However, I don't want it being linked to me on-wiki. While this is a public list, to some extent it's still private, because I doubt many people who aren't wikipedians themselves have signed up to this list. Still, back to the point, I feel that Durova's identity should be kept quiet. If Durova wants to reveal her identity, then she can do it herself - she is quite capable of that. She does not need someone else to publicise it for her.
