Hi,
I'm planning to release the November community metrics report [1] next week. In order to have more accurate stats on new contributors, can you help checking these names? It would be great if you are/know the false new contributor and you would claim the new commits to your Ohloh username.
Note that an old contributor (e.g. in MediaWiki) is still a new contributor if sends a patch for the first time to e.g. Visual Editor. The problem comes when "old" editors in a project change the email address or name, because then Ohloh plays safe and considers them a new contributor.
Thank you for your help.

MarkAHershberger is not new, but hexmode. https://www.ohloh.net/p/mediawiki-extensions-wmf/contributors/26302852167181... already lists MarkAHershberger as an alias, shouldn't have been picked automatically?
Asher had another commit in svn.

I guess gerrit uses "Anomie" as the name for changes I merge. I wonder why Ohloh doesn't track by email address instead.

Answer from Ohloh: "Ohloh has only tracked names coming out of source-control, mainly because it was built around CVS and Subversion. With distributed SCMs, like Git, Mercurial and Bazaar, email addresses became available but internal data model still relies on names. Reworking internal data model to make emails first class citizens has its own drawbacks and cost associated. We are trying to find a middle ground and are working on making contributions "claimable" by email and that should improve the flow for contributors." --Qgil (talk) 15:21, 2 November 2012 (UTC) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Community_metrics/October_2012
