Hi Wilfred

I think the problem with the PR merge is due to
https://help.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-user-account/setting-your-commit-email-address#setting-your-commit-email-address-on-github,
I think if the PR submitter doesn't have this box checked in their github
setting, the email settings will be correct:

Keep my email addresses private

otherwise, github hides the email address. I just did a test with
https://github.com/apache/incubator-yunikorn-release/pull/7. Please take a
look if this is the case.

Thanks!
