Cloning the repository and then running "git log" shows me the
following:

    $ git log --pretty=fuller
    commit b9d723e3da9cf3eb9ead9236841a03af2d84a5ed (grafted, HEAD -> trunk, origin/trunk, origin/HEAD)
    Author:     Andreas Scherer <andreas_tex at freenet.de>
    AuthorDate: Mon Feb 3 18:32:15 2025 +0000
    Commit:     Andreas Scherer <andreas_tex at freenet.de>
    CommitDate: Mon Feb 3 18:32:15 2025 +0000

        Trivial changes in Python comments.

        git-svn-id: svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Build/source@73710 c570f23f-e606-0410-a88d-b1316a301751

So for GitHub to recognize this as you, you need to add the email
address "andreas_tex at freenet.de" to your GitHub profile. That's what I
did, and GitHub correctly attributes my commits (err, commit) to me:

    https://github.com/TeX-Live/texlive-source/commits?author=gucci-on-fleek

Thanks,
