Strange. The guy who fixed the issue works at Microsoft, but uses his gmx email for Github.

  I think you just got a glimpse of a vast sea of internal policy and compliance issues.

    Or that the opensource hobby is much more longlived that something as temporary as an employer.

  And the guy who announced the new Git release works for Google, but uses his pobox.com email for Git development.
  • skzv 6y ago
    Yes, actually, Googlers are encouraged to use their personal Github accounts.

      But probably their work email when doing things on company time?
      • enneff 6y ago
        Nope. This is an example of someone working on company time using their personal email.
        • saagarjha 6y ago
          Right, which is (AFAIK) not usually recommended except for side projects or ones where there is already an existing relationship under a personal email address.

      That is true but the git release has nothing to do with GitHub accounts.

  Wait, there are people who use real, in-use email addresses in publicly hosted git repos? I mean, it's likely his spamcatcher address, no?
