  • Found on 24 September 2026 by searching GitHub's commit index for every personal address the lazarus.group registry and the ZEUS-DEV-919 working document give for a persona, and keeping the accounts whose own commits are signed with one. GitHub mints a noreply address from an account's immutable numeric id, in the form id+handle@users.noreply.github.com, so former handles below are a matter of record. github.com/ssmith542 is account id 48925763, created on 25 March 2019. Of the 100 commits GitHub's search returns for it, 31 are signed dannyjin117@gmail.com and 6 as5179000@gmail.com, and 56 are signed with its own noreply address under the former handles dansofter and webninja1992; a further six commits in its repositories are signed webninja16@gmail.com. lazarus.group gives all three of those mailboxes for Danny Jin. The commits carry the author names Danny, danny-biztree, topdev17 and dansofter, and are made on the day each repository is created.
