Sure. You can do that when you work on a command line and it works as
intended. But you have no control over this when you press a button in
GitHub's GUI.

There was a lot of pressure on GitHub to allow configuring email per
project (to set the email to which emails from PRs & other
communication are sent).

I don't want a separate GitHub account just for MacPorts. I don't want
to keep signing on and off all the time.
