One final comment, the advice suggesting that you set your email  
address to the sourceforge email address is not mandatory. Git doesn't  
care and neither does sourceforge. I think that if you use the  
sourceforge email address then the commits are associated with your  
user profile and show up in your activity log. If you use a different  
address the commits are fine but sourceforge does not bother to tell  
anyone about them.

Of course, this really means I should have used sourceforge email  
addresses for the entire PDL history so that everyone gets the  
recognition. I'm not fixing it now though. Sorry.

Github does things differently in that it lets you associate multiple  
email addresses with your github account. It's a more pragmatic  
approach in that they realise that people will be uploading pre- 
existing git repositories rather than living purely in github land.
