I don't think that information is available to the app, at least at
present... when you log in, it is empowered to ask the community login
DB "is this combination of a username and a password valid?" but all
it gets back is "yes" or "no".

If you click on the patch title on that page, it takes you to patch details
page, where the real author name seems to be available to the app.

That's because there is a field to set the author's name. See
<https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_form?commitfest=7&gt;

At the same time, I should have though allowing the Commitfest app
access to the user's actual name would be acceptable.

You're mixing up two different things.

Each patch has an "Author" field and a "Reviewers" field. These are
displayed on both the CF summary page (in the columns with those
names) and on the patch detail page (in the rows with those names).
They are text fields, so they display whatever someone types into
them.

Each *comment* on a patch has an author also. This is also displayed
on both the CF summary page (for the most recent 3 comments) and on
the patch detail page (for all comments) and the authorship
information is automatically populated from the user's login.

It would be possible to display both of these using the same format if
that information is available in the community login database and can
be replicated into the CF database, but currently I don't have it.

Sure it is. When you call community_login(), it'll return you the
yes/no field, the full name, the email address, an author text (not
used anymore, so don't rely on that), community docs superuser flag
(also not used, don't rely on, kind of a failed experiment) and last
successful login time prior to this one.

It's quite possible all users haven't included their full name when
they registered, but for those that have the information is available.

Hrm, so in theory I could maintain a (possible stale) cache of this
information. Seems sort of hairy, though.

Keep it in whatever session state where you keep the login data?

Oh, and then copy it from there if someone posts a comment? I suppose
that could work, although it would only apply to comments added from
the point of the code change going forward.

Seems like it would be nicer to have a table with username/real name
in the CF DB. But I guess that would require configuring some kind of
replication...

You could create a table there and then update the entry on login if
the name has changed.
