No, the correct email address is rprior@protonmail.com

There's maybe 15 commits in Guix that have that incorrect email address. I'm 
not sure where it comes from or how to get rid of it. I send my patches by 
running a command like:

git send-email --to=guix-patches@gnu.org --suppress-cc=self 
0001-gnu-esbuild-Update-to-0.8.29.patch

Git has my correct email address:

$ git config user.email
rprior@protonmail.com

So I have to imagine that either Protonmail or your email server are changing 
the email address.

I don't know if it's possible with the commit-signing system you have in place 
to rewrite Guix repo history, or whether it would be worth it, but it would be 
nice to have my actual email on my commits instead of the weird munged one. If 
there's some behavior I can change to keep it from happening again the future I 
will certainly be flexible.

One thing I'm going to try (unless there's any objection) is to try sending 
email through a third party like mailgun instead of using Protonmail's SMTP 
server. If it's confusing or triggers some kind of fraud prevention mechanism 
to get e-mails to the list that have my Protonmail address on them but aren't 
actually from Protonmail's server, then the next thing I could try is to 
request a gnu.org email address for the purposes of contributing to GNU 
software.

Let me know what you think!
