  • Found on 24 September 2026 by searching GitHub's commit index for published persona addresses and reading which account GitHub attributes the commits to. GitHub credits a commit to the account that has the signing address registered and verified, which only the holder of the mailbox can do, so an attributed account is one the address's holder controls, whichever repository the commits sit in and whenever the address was added. Counts are of the commits GitHub's search returns, up to 100. GitHub attributes 74 commits signed smallstar0924@gmail.com, an address browsercookies publishes for this persona, to the login Caesar0dev, which no longer resolves.
