Bug Description

If you look at:

  https://code.launchpad.net/~orange-box-examples/orange-box-examples/trunk

It claims a bunch of recent revisions were authored by Scott James Remnant. This is not actually the case; these were authored by Scott Croft who (several years after keybuk left Canonical) inheirted the '<email address hidden>' email address.

While one could argue (and I wouldn't necessarily disagree) that Canonical shouldn't reuse email addresses; it's a fairly common practice and it seems like Launchpad could perhaps do a better job and dealing with it when it happens.
