I've gotten a fair few emails to my address used for git commits also. Doubt each recruiter is compiling it manually, but someone must have built a script that cloned git repos and inspected the data, as I don't think GitHub shows it in the UI

Add `.patch` to the end of the URL when viewing a commit to view the full commit, including user information. E.g., ‘https://github.com/<repo>/commit/<hash>.patch’.

That's true. you can also put .keys or .gpg on the end of a user profile to get ssh or gpg public keys respectively (also works for GitLab). I guess I've always just considered such routes to be part of the API since they're not linked in the UI
