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
