Description
/cc Chris as there may be an opportunity to catch this as part of account management.
If I understand correctly how this works [1], the answer has to be no.
Contributing to an open source project is a transparent process. We need to be able to trace contributions back to a specific individual.
The first important question is whether or not my understanding is correct. Is there actual traceability from a commit that uses this sort of email address? Can we actually contact somebody via this email address?
