FWIW, the Google GitHub contribution guidelines encourage you to use your personal email address to make contributions if you already have one. They cite a few reasons, but one of them is to maintain access/credit/identity/whatever after you leave.
- WorldMaker 10y agoThis contribution list in this article is based on the numbers of unique contributors to all of the repositories in a GitHub Organization, not email accounts. Which is why you see Angular and Google on the list because they are separate GitHub organizations. FWIW, I don't know Microsoft's current policies but if you look at the Organization list it does seem like employees use a mixture of both personal-seeming GitHub accounts and professional-seeming accounts, presumably based on employee preference? (I think the table is a little more obvious in context in the Github Universe site it is from.)
