Found on 24 September 2026 by searching GitHub's commit index for the address browsercookies published for this persona in the profile-picture thread of 17 May 2025. GitHub mints a noreply address from an account's immutable numeric id, in the form id+handle@users.noreply.github.com, so a former handle is a matter of record; and GitHub attributes a commit to whichever account has its address registered, which only the address's holder can do. github.com/Gentleeman is account id 86507173, created on 26 June 2021, display name Gentleman, with 77 public repositories. Its noreply addresses show it was previously named benbarker0311, the persona's address as a handle, and ksanalex. Fifty-five of its repositories hold 93 commits signed benbarker0311@gmail.com, dated June 2021 to June 2024. GitHub now attributes that address to github.com/BenBBarker, account id 220992038, created on 16 July 2025 with no repositories, so the address was registered to a fresh, empty account after the older one stopped using it.
