Those archives are indexed by google, so everybody can (with a little effort) find your name, connected to rockbox. Can you explain to me why you don't care about that publicly searchable archive, but you do care about a list of developers in the credits file of this project? I myself think of it as an honor to be on that list, and to be part of "a real team with real names working on a real project." Ofcourse I understand that you do want some privacy, but nobody is asking you to state your living address, your phone number, or anything like that. It's just a name, and an e-mail address. I almost tend to say "grow up, get rid of the nicknames" but I think some people will get offended if I do that.
