Yep, we would use guido.van.rossum.  I think it would be fine for you to
use martin.v.loewis or martin.von.loewis, just as MAL could use
m.a.lemburg or marc.andre.lemberg.  Our general concern was people
hiding behind obscure nicknames like 'pumpichank' and no one really
knowing who's behind that <wink>.
