   Thanks for the reply @pvillard31.
   
   For clarification on the NiFi user identity being an email address, I meant 
that it was a requirement in order to match against an actual Git user. I 
understand that any string is technically accepted in the author field.
   
   It is true that user's could add their own `Co-authored-by` lines to the 
footer, however, GitHub and other services specifically parse the "trailer" of 
a commit message to determine co-authorship.
   
   Taking a step back for a moment, I initially approached this change from the 
perspective of viewing commit authorship in GitHub or other Git service, as 
opposed to within NiFi. If the primary purpose is associating authorship in 
NiFi, that does change the analysis to some degree. My primary concern related 
to authorship linkage in the Git service, and the mismatch if the user identity 
is not an email address.
