I haven't been following too closely, but the impression I got from the AN/I threads was that it wasn't too clear which of PM's previous accounts related to his real-life identity (or how). I honestly don't think Guy knew at the time, and probably didn't care. Because his concern wasn't about someone's real life identity but their accounts on Wikipedia and what it was doing to the project.
I suspect the solution to this may well lie in the direction of not sockpuppeting furiously with one of your account names being based on your real name or whatever.
