This is no hard requirement. However, all your existing commits were attributed to your @macports.org mail address. I am only aware of one case where the commit author email address will be used: When you close a ticket with "Closes https://trac.macports.org/ticket/..." in a commit message, a comment will automatically be added to the corresponding ticket. This comment will be attributed to the author of the commit. By using the same email address for your commits that is also configured in Trac, you ensure that these comments will be properly attributed to you.
