Hi Benedikt,
Thank you for your reply. You raise a good question regarding the
preservation
of emails in a transition to Git.
Fortunately, in managing the Apertium packages for various platforms, Tino
has also
has put together a correspondence between SVN users and emails. The import
scripts that I have written use this correspondence. The current version
can be
found here: https://github.com/sushain97/apertium-on-github/blob/
master/authors.txt.
Here is some documentation for the scripts I mention:
https://github.com/sushain97/apertium-on-github#scripts.
If your proper email is missing, you could email Tino and I. If your email
in the file
does not correspond to the email you use from GitHub, it can be changed.
However, it might be easiest to just add the email to your GitHub account
(you
can ensure that it is private). Of course, a repo's authors can always be
modified
after the fact with a re-import or filter-branch operation if necessary.
I will leave you with an example of what the import script does when used on
apertium-cat: https://github.com/mock-apertium/apertium-
cat/graphs/contributors.
I am happy to answer any further questions.
