You can now add multiple emails to your account using the, uh, account link.
And hey, are your commits not being linked to your GitHub account?

Here’s why: the most recent commit was signed with a different email address. To get that commit to say ‘defunkt’ and link to me, I need to add that email address to my account.
Not sure what email address is being used? Try @git show @, where @@ is the commit’s id.
For now the email address you signed up with is set in stone, but you’ll be able to change it soon.
