You're talking as if what is identified is a human being. But of
course, it isn't. When you do a git push (or whatever) what is pushed
is controlled by the computer you are using.
I would not want to use my workstation at work to push to Debian. Nor
would I want to have to feed all the pushes I would do during my job
through my netbook so they can be appropriately authorised.
The github authorisation is in terms of ssh keys. I have ssh keys
that live on my workstation at work. And I have ones that live on my
own infrastructure.
Ian.
