    Not sure what you're implying here. GitHub doesnt try to secure the address that Git is configured to use; that is on the user and they chose it for their public identity.

    Great tip, thanks!

    @tokumei: But it isn't displayed anywhere on GitHub. If you want to contact someone without opening an issue, you'd have to clone a repository and look into the log. At least that's what I did until now.

    They should allow better individual contacting on GitHub

    "Source: Twitter" isn't much more precise than "Source: Internet".
