[CCC DEV] Towards releases

[Jon Simpson]

Github suggests that there's some auto-claiming based on the e-mail
addresses matching known and registered addresses of existing Github
users.

( Instructions for populating Github's knowledge of your e-mail
addresses are here:
https://help.github.com/articles/why-are-my-commits-linked-to-the-wrong-user )

It's not encouraging that other documentation suggests linking an
e-mail address wont just go and retroactively claim the commits, as
you'd hope. (from the mention of contacting support in this situation)

https://help.github.com/articles/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile

It might be worth improving on that list of known authors, either via
a pass around this list, or individual e-mails to people who currently
aren't matching and tidying up a preferred canonical e-mail list.
Perhaps a small (week?) grace period to collate responses, then move
forward - to avoid blocking as it's trivial overall.

Thanks,
Jon
