    Answering the question (since it is now closed): you can open an Issue, and hope for the repo owner to answer you. Commented Mar 30, 2016 at 16:16

    For the privacy conscious: To avoid a personal email from showing per any of the answers here, Github users can go to Settings->Emails and check the box for Keep my email address private. Then, they must use git config user.email or git config --global user.email to set their local git email to the Github private email address (<username>@users.noreply.github.com) All of their commits - from then on - will include only the private "noreply" email. Note that any prior commits/local repo commits with the personal email set will still show it. Commented Dec 2, 2017 at 17:09
  • A lot of these answers suggest using the public email addresses used in git commits. However, because this is easily abused by spammers, it is only natural that many people would use a non-important email address such as [email protected]. Commented Mar 31, 2023 at 4:01
