"Making a name for myself" is a strong motivation to help out in open source and open protocols. Taking that away from people is going to inevitably discourage contributions.
Bad move.

any idiot can write a spec. If someone wants to make a name for themselves they should write useful software or launch a valuable business.
Whoever gets discouraged from writing a spec because of this would be the right kind of person to discourage from proposing a spec.

I think it's a good argument, and it makes sense to take the emotion out of personal relationships. That's why SN zaps are "anonymous".

It'll be interesting to see the impact this has on the protocol. It's a subtle change but it's a change to incentives which could have big downstream consequences.

yes, slightly removes the incentive of people writing nonsense because they want to be a "nostr core developer"
