        How about just deleting them? We don't really support using pseudonyms.


    Why is that ? With a person reason I don't want my name of these files. I
    wrote the files and it took me a lot of work.

    I can still prove I wrote this code with the above email if anyone wants me
    to as I still work as a developer.


I initally requested to have my name removed from the files but apparently I hadn't signed off the patch so it was rejected.

You could have simply replied to the mail requesting a SOB and one of us would have added it your patch and pushed it.

One month later, I figured it might be a bad idea to just give up all the work I had done and opted to keep track of it.

 I think that is a wise choice, in which case you should leave the authorship as is :-).

I do have a good reason as to why I would like to remove my name from these files which I will not bother explaining. And I actually do want my name removed from these files.

Removing my name on the other hand means I give up on something which I painstakingly worked on for almost one year.

I went for another choice but apparently someone suggested that they don't allow pseudonmyns on files and that's just synonymous with me asking you to remove my work from from the file.
