Depending on which version control system you use, your email address is
actually embedded in the repository itself. We don't do any extra logic to
expose your email address as part of the export. In fact, when we export issues
we intentionally _don't_ unobfuscate email addresses.
To purge the email address from your exported GitHub repo:
(1) Update your git settings to ensure you aren't setting an email address. (I
do not know for sure, but it might be possible to commit to GitHub using GitHub
account X, but have your local git settings use email address Y, where Y is
not-an-address@email.c.) See
[http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration this doc].
(2) It is possible in Git to "rewrite history" so you can remap all of those
commits to having occurred from a different committer. I don't know how to do
this for replacing author information, but it should be doable. I'd recommend
you [https://help.github.com/articles/remove-sensitive-data/ start here].
Sorry that this seemed like a surprise to you.
