Invalid author email: fix EBM-local Git config #73

Open arthurattwell opened 7 years ago

arthurattwell commented 7 years ago

On GitHub, EBM commits contain an invalid author email. See the grey tooltip here:

GitHub explains how this works here, which says:

Invalid email This means the email address in your local Git configuration settings is either blank or not formatted as an email address. You will need to change the email address in your local Git configuration settings, then add the new address to your GitHub email settings to link your future commits. Old commits will not be linked.

If your local Git configuration contained a generic email address, or an email address that was already attached to another user's account, then your previous commits will not be linked to your account. While Git does allow you to change the email address used for previous commits, we strongly discourage this, especially in a shared repository. For more information, see "Changing author info".

It now seems some users are verified and other aren't. E.g. both of these are EBM users:

Perhaps we don't have email addresses for older-EBM-version users like me ?

Further to my last comment: I believe Axelle was using prose.io, not the EBM. Also, I believe 'Verified' refers to whether commits are signed, which is a separate, additional issue to have a valid email address.
