Open Source Identity and Real Identity

I support 2 identifiers for open source development that do not actually contain any personal information. I also have another identity - my real one.

It may be a community wiki, but my question is programming, due to the fact that when you post the software you publish it with some name as the author, and this choice can have real consequences.

I am considering merging my personal data, what is pro and con? This is a good idea, or privacy concerns outweigh the convenience of maintaining a single identity.

(By the way, this second identity was created from my development of World of Warcraft add-ons, and I just continued to use it for my open source projects)

Edit: I consider this because I am thinking about changing assignments, and I want to refer to my open source work, despite the unprofessional work by the name of the author.

Well, as an open-source hacker working part-time, I recently discovered that ohloh can help you “professions,” your identity, allowing you to restore all the commits you made in projects created by this engine (and there are many).

If you are good, why not become a little famous? Who knows if a person hires you, you don’t use / do not participate in an open source project, and from the very beginning you will appreciate more?
