I've discovered that (strangely?) github allows you to enter arbitrary
e-mail address to map, so I would propose that we do a "call for
existing accounts" but if people don't want to link to a particular
e-mail address, we just use:
<svn-username>@svn.nhforge.org
This allows them to later add that e-mail address in github and their
accounts get linked to those commits automatically.
Any objections to the hostname?
