This check thinks that a full need needs to have two parts separated by a space: a first name and a surname. This assumption is untrue for instance for many Tamil people. 

In fact this is not an academic concern. We have a fairly active contributor by the name of "Shubham" who, due to the commit hookscript filter, has been forced to manufacture a last name and go by a fake name! Maybe we should turn it off.
