I can't say I agree with your general thrust here - I think that if
people contribute to a massively open project, well, they have to
accept "massively open". Bending over backwards to retroactively
provide anonymity gets impractical fast.

However, this proposal could allow an effective opt-out from any form
of downstream attribution - some kind of "NOCREDIT" magic word,
perhaps. This would neatly sidestep the worry of people not wanting
credited downstream...
