I am syncing a few repos from my Forgejo instance that have commits addressed to 35247379+helpimnotdrowning@users.noreply.github.com. The domain has no MX record and fails at https://tangled.org/tangled.org/core/blob/master/appview/email/email.go#L52 . Since there's no way to verify this email address, is there no way to associate it to my account?

Why is that? I have no intentions on making any email address that can be used to contact me public, so I need to create a completely fake email on a domain I own with some BS MX record just so tangled will accept it? What am I missing here?
Not to mention this makes it incredibly annoying to have a git history that is linked to both my GitHub and Tangled accounts.

I see. Would a one-time OAuth login to GitHub work to verify it, or would that be a problem for third party instances being unable to verify still and have to take tangled.org's word for it again?
What about some public way of associating your DID with your GitHub account? Like by having a bluesky link on your profile, or a comment inside your profile's readme / standard repo name to verify it?
