Do you only use the email address to know who someone's employers are?
I ask this question because I looked at the "User namespace" patch from Serge E. Hallyn (link).
His email is serge AT hallyn DOT com but the status page for "User Namespace" is here in the Ubuntu wiki and the git development tree is in here at kernel.ubuntu.com.

I would like to know if Serge's commits are attributed to Canonical in your kernel stats.

An awful lot of developers do not post from company email addresses; if all we did was look for corporate domains, we'd have an awful lot more unknowns than we do. For your specific question: yes, Serge's contributions are properly attributed.
