This isn&#x27;t about contacting people or communicating the status of a Github project. Github issues are fine way to communicate. If the repo owner isn&#x27;t responding to issues, I don&#x27;t think sending email to someone&#x27;s personal email found through GIT commits is a good option. There is a reason we don&#x27;t just have everyone&#x27;s personal email on their Github profile. People don&#x27;t want spam from people they don&#x27;t know.
