'Added by': usernames rather than real names?

mark
I've switched to an abbreviated version of my name again because I saw that right now, public collections in Zotero group libraries include the real name (not the username) of the user who has added references to them. The name is visible not just on individual entries (twice) but also on the overview page with the most recent additions (in the 'Updated by' column). And all of these are being indexed by Google.

I would be more happy if those places had the username, and if the real name would be limited to one's profile. I don't know how others feel about that, though.

[Edit: This is a problem especially in view of the privacy setting that's being offered to exclude one's profile from search engine indexing. I've been happy with that option because, while I don't mind showing my real name to fellow users, I don't necessarily want the profile to show up when people Google me. There is little point in enabling this option though if one's real name is still sprinkled all over items in public collections.]
