Comment (by ryandesign):

 If the problem is that we don't ask the user's permission to store their
 GitHub email address for other purposes when they log in to Trac, then
 let's ask for that permission.

 It should come as no surprise to any MacPorts committer that when we issue
 them an @macports.org email address, we will use that email address to
 communicate with them, and that since we're an open source project and
 conduct our communications on public mailing lists, that email address
 will become public knowledge. I don't know of any committer who's
 complained about that before.

 If the commit already contains the email address of the author and the
 committer, let's use that. Our policy is already that that should be the
 @macports.org email address. I very much want to be able to reply to the
 email and reach both the committer and the author. Previously, I've often
 had to go to the ticket to find the author's email address and manually
 add it to the email.

 If GitHub won't use the @macports.org email address when clicking the
 merge button on the web site, then that sucks and I don't know what to do
 about it.
