Very little is done anonymously in this project, unless you are using
a pseudonym and want to be somewhat anonymous. There are various ways
that contributions are tracked.

If you look at my launchpad profile https://launchpad.net/~lyz you'll
see under "Most Active In" that Xubuntu Website is #3 for me.

If you work on documentation you get added to the credits file, ie:
http://docs.xubuntu.org/1310/ln-idp359824.html

If you're a developer, your name will be in changelogs, for example:
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/x/xubuntu-meta/xubuntu-meta_2.175/changelog

If you're doing testing, your name will show up on the tracker:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers

This is all fair game for including on a resume, I sure do.
