It is not. Legally, there's no real difference from a pseudonym and an
eponymous name. How could there be?

I should have added that the project decided, years ago, to only use it for
the collection copyright holder in the /COPYRIGHT file. All other files
require an actual copyright holder at the time of submission. The project
generally doesn't track successors in interest, though there are exceptions
when the copyright holder themselves make the change.
