Ben uses the +github GMail trick to identify emails sent to him by folks that found his GitHub profile. At the time, that also meant he had to commit under the same email for GitHub to recognize his commits. He has since found out that GitHub can be configured with more than one email for identification, and he would prefer his canonical email to omit mention of GitHub (where it's not relevant) going forward.
