Research direction

Start at the registration page at http://patchwork.sourceware.org/ and review the related issue, "Users should be able to change their associated data." Clarify whether first and last names are required, whether their immutability is communicated, and how projects can configure those requirements; the work is done when the registration behavior and messaging support project-specific requirements.

Description

enhancement

Currently (at http://patchwork.sourceware.org/) the registration process is unclear in some parts:

First name + Last name are not marked as "You will never ever be able to change this again" and it is not clear if it is required at all or optional.
We should have the option to make this fit the projects requirements.
Compare https://libreboot.org/git/#guidelines vs https://www.coreboot.org/Development_Guidelines for an example to see why a fixed ""real"" name is bad.
