MacPorts 2.3.5 added the ability to list GitHub usernames as well as email addresses in the maintainers field of Portfiles. Basically instead of this:

maintainers     jmr openmaintainer

you can do this:

maintainers     {jmr @jmroot} openmaintainer

All the email obfuscation etc still works the same way, you just wrap each email and GitHub username that correspond to the same person in braces together.

Documentation of this should hopefully be added to the Guide soon. I would encourage port maintainers to add their GitHub username to their ports.

A couple more examples:

maintainers     {jmr @jmroot} {raimue @raimue}

maintainers     {jmr @jmroot} {example.com:user @example} openmaintainer
