🤔

jlfwong commented 8 years ago

I... don't really need to be notified about a Chrome extension I don't use incorrectly reporting information about me.

Though I do appreciate that I was someone's page you tested?

bevacqua commented 8 years ago

@zeke That's basically just because the underlying detection lib is kind of flaky. Honestly don't have time to work on this though.

zeke commented 8 years ago

@jlfwong sorry to disturb. Just pinging the related parties in case it leads to clues about possible causes of the failure.

bevacqua commented 8 years ago

@zeke I think root cause is that there's a package somewhere that infers email addresses from commits, and sometimes that can lead to related contributors' emails being used instead of the actual person's email.

ljharb commented 8 years ago

If it uses "committer" instead of "author", that could easily happen.

Same here!
