Description

Registering to redmine requires:
  • A login, A password: without it accounts cannot work
  • An email: I don't know the arguments for or against its requirement.
The issue here that the registration form also requires the user first name and last name, and I don't think that it's a good idea:

I've looked at all the menus the Redmine interface (I've administrator/project manager access), and I didn' find where to do that.

At least we should be able to change the users display format to "Username" (https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineSettings#Users-display-format) and then we can put some text on Redmine (maybe it is possible to put it to the registration page?) that one can just put some fake information for the first and last name fields.
