I have received the e-mail this time, which is great. But it seems
like my worry about the mail map being the wrong way around was not
unfounded. This e-mail is not the "community member Jan" me, and
should never have any committer cases as I generally attempt to air
gap the two sides.

I'll try to post a patch today either inverting their order (which
hopefully outputs my community member e-mail), or - since this e-mail
is never supposed to apply to any committer cases - removing it.
