My issue with OSM is that i need an account which may potentially contribute to leak my identity

Not really fixing the account issue, but can you use an email alias? I use one for my account.

I was also worried about this, but if you make your changes wide reaching enough and don't use the same username as everywhere else (honestly, this is a good practice for all accounts), it shouldn't leak your identity.
