It's not his real name, no, but he's a real person.

I do have his real name from years ago when I needed to confirm his
identity for sign-offs (I forget what for, I think it was some dcache
name hashing thing).

So I can confirm he's a real person who just wants to keep private,
and is competent when it comes to hashing and security.
