Given that planet.postgresql.org is being synced to www.postgresql.org,
I am (still) against adding nicknames instead of real names.
If we allow nicknames, then we will need to figure out a policy of what
nicknames should be used or not, to prevent people using abusing
nicknames.

I don't care about IRC, as long as logs are not synced to our main
website. IRC and Planet are not the same thing.
(and .../me uses realname in IRC.)
