- Someone 5y agoI think that, depending on circumstances, it _can_ be trivial to prove in court. Examples: - If the contributor can prove they checked that specific mailbox during the period involved (for example from logs, or because the git repo of their system config shows they ran a cron script checking it) - If the contributor can have a few others state in court that they received other messages sent from that account around the time that must have come from them. - if the contributor mailed a few friends saying they contributed to LLVM, giving some details of the changes. I would expect courts to accept either as enough evidence.
