  You can also add ".patch" at the end of a github commit url, which will show the users email address. For example:

  https://github.com/TinyCC/TinyCC/commit/c52d79605a3c895a16e1...

  For certain repositories it's also useful to install a git hook to prevent individuals from pushing without properly configuring name/email in .gitconfig. This assumes you have administrative access to the server, of course.
