Although they do not require public disclosure they do require signing. Signing unveils the real name and identity to the companies, doesn't it? They can then map that identify to a GitHub id. Otherwise, it would be the first time I hear of these companies accepting anonymous contributions. AFAIK no one is.
Personally, I haven't put much thought into this topic, though. My first reaction is: no way. Contributions and open source rely on a level of trust. How would you trust someone entirely anonymous? But then again, I can see a point of data privacy, which is a general problem of Git. Although, this could be mitigated by having the EF be a trusted source, which maps anonymous ids to real identities when needed.
