Initial commit author e-mail is claimable on Github #364

Description

@artfuldodger

[email protected] appears to be the e-mail address assigned to the initial commit. This e-mail address does not appear to be associated with any GitHub account. If someone adds this e-mail address to their account, GitHub will display that user as the author of all of these commits - without having to verify the e-mail address or anything. This seems bad. Having an official account with that e-mail address prevents someone from exploiting that.
