+ [8 years ago] zeromus as i see it @users.noreply.github.com email address is non-functional for linking git commits to github accounts unless the user has selected the checkbox in github profile to keep their email address private, which not everyone does. i dont understand all the pros and cons of that
+ [8 years ago] zeromus moreover as soon as i imported my commits as joe@users.noreply.github.com and joe renames hiself to joesephine, there's no possible way he can have joe's commits link to his account
+ [8 years ago] zeromus whereas if i'd imported the commits as myprojectimport.joe@gmail.com, joesephine could make a new account on github and seize control of myprojectimport.joe@gmail.com from joe's github account
+ [8 years ago] zeromus obviously i'm subverting the system here. the system is stupid and i dont mind subverting it. but mailmap may be better still

but... okay =\
+ [8 years ago] zeromus alternatively....... i could just do the same thing i said with gmail more or less, except use @users.sf.net addresses
+ [8 years ago] zeromus cool! using sourceforge emails for commit imports and adding them to your github account seems to work fine. i prefer this to creating a mixed mess of differently-sourced emails in the import
+ [8 years ago] ssarah why is it that on github when im checking contributors, it doesnt account for aliases
+ [8 years ago] ssarah like, my username is fullmooninu but i identified as miguel in my local repository
+ [8 years ago] ssarah so now the statistics dont show what i did
