Thank you for working on this - this solves one part of the problem (direct edits from github without a public email address), but it does not cover: - international names with non-ascii first letter - "creative" usernames like "Don't care" - squash merges (because github decides its more clever, that git itself it replaceses the author information for the squash with the public information of the author) Idea: We could create a "white" list of known authors and validate against that, the list would be filled with all Committers and known third party authors. If a new author comes along, he must be added to the list. I admit, that this is not a new idea, but taken from project Skara (the project, that prototypes migrating OpenJDK Development to github). The interesting question: How to save such a list to make it not too easy for spam bots. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
