Comment (by neverpanic):

 The idea of having the data available in Trac initially was to only use it
 for the conversion, not keep it around indefinitely for other purposes. I
 don't like the idea of requesting users' private data, storing it, and
 later re-using it for different purposes, like sending their email address
 to a mailing list even if it is otherwise private to GitHub.

 As Mojca mentioned, we could try using the committer and author addresses
 from the commit itself. Note that those are not necessarily valid email
 addresses (though in practice, they usually are). The change mails are
 sent from a hook called by GitHub's webhook mechanism. See
 https://github.com/macports/trac.macports.org/tree/master/plugins/hooks
 for the source.

 As for the problem of knowing whether a non-committer is the maintainer of
 a port and assigning tickets to their maintainers in trac and on github,
 we should just allow GitHub usernames in the maintainer field.
