well, as far as I remember, git uses email for identifying contributor.
"historical commits" won't have email identified with them, so, would
be marked as "rasmus" on github, but won't have a link to your
profile.
and for new commits, I guess we can ask github guys to show
"user.name" field of commit on the site, instead of github login (as
they do now), so, those would be marked as "Rasmus Lerdorf" or
"rasmus" or whatever you would specify there.

does that sound ok?
