The GitHub ids in Whimsy are provided by their owners, so can be considered authoritative, even if they might not be the ones that are linked to ASF accounts. I am told that people find them useful. Maybe a solution would be to add a note that the id might not be the one that is linked to the ASF id. Even better would be if the boxer system could validate which GH Id is being used for linking? > With regards, > Daniel.
