  • Both GitHub accounts are read by hand from the two attached screenshots, one headed Steven Roark with the handle trustmeforever and a single repository, the other headed GL-Man with the handle gl-man and 65 repositories, which is the set of cryptocurrency projects the post points at. The post presents the two captures together as one operator. This is one of the names docs/x-source-backlog.md had been carrying as unresolved.

  • Read on 20 September 2026 by walking the commit history of every repository on the GitHub accounts github.com/gl-man and github.com/trustmeforever, already held under this persona, and tallying the author line on every commit. A commit's author line is what the holder configured their git client with rather than anything the profile page chooses to display, so it recovers addresses the account never states. The addresses recorded here were not already in this index: trustyman77@hotmail.com authored 173 commits across 45 of its repositories, commits as "gl-man"; workusa38@gmail.com authored 1 commit across the repository trustmeforever/password-validation, commits as "trustmeforever". Each is admitted because it commits under a name the account itself uses, which is the test that separates the holder's own address from the original author of a repository copied in. Addresses belonging to unrelated developers whose work appears in these repositories are deliberately not recorded, and an address is evidence that whoever held it wrote those commits rather than proof of who holds the account.
