Oh, I was unaware of that. I've not seen anyone use it, [0] but I've only paid any attention to the Big Corporate and Traditional Hacker populations.
Thanks much for the information.
[0] I'm certain that folks do use it, so folks shouldn't bother pointing out people that do.

I actually was looking into this recently (exploring how much of a PITA changing my github email would be) and found it interesting that, while in principle your GH email is public to anyone interfacing with your commits via `git`, they have gone to some length to avoid displaying it anywhere in the web interface. The docs actually mention it being shown on your 'profile' page but I don't see it anywhere there.
