Btw, one other thing you can take away from it is that even when they

There's absolutely tons of "(none)" emails even in the _visible_ parts, 
which is really really sad. But it does tell a lot about humans - they 
won't be noticing even _obvious_ mistakes like that.

(And yes, it does say that git should probably have errored out way more 
aggressively about badly set up host/domain names in the "guess at email 
address" code. My bad. Maybe it's still worth fixing for the future)
