    I generally don’t even look for an email address because a vast majority of GH users do not list one on their profile and I can’t be bothered to fish email addresses out of their git commits, which would not generally be reliable. Bernát Gábor is exceptional in this regard and happens to have an email address – at gmail. I wouldn’t do gmail but perhaps i’ll reach out to one of the other maintainers.
