Why does sourceforge's mercurial view think I am anonymous?

I'm using Mercurial for a sourceforge project, and every time I commit it lists me as being anonymous on the project feed. I am using mercurial through the Eclipse Mercurial plugin from http://bitbucket.org/mercurialeclipse/. What settings do I need to mess with for SourceForge to know who I am when I push my commits?

Mercurial knows my user name, just sourceforge isn't identifying that with my sourceforge user. I have no problem using the command line version of mercurial, in fact I was using this for a while and I still had the same problem.

The commits are accurately labeled based on my username in .hgrc, just sourceforge doesn't identify me properly.

Edit, if you want to see the fledgling project that my friend and I are working on to see the symptoms I am trying to describe, it is here https://sourceforge.net/projects/silversaga/

I filed a ticket for this issue. It has now been resolved. For anyone interested, it was a bug in SourceForge, and has now been fixed.

From the comment on the ticket detailing the fix.

Please ensure that your hgrc has a line similar to:

[ui]
username = Your Name <[email protected]
