Real name leaked to AUR

Hi, I did set my AUR credentials via

git config user.name <username>

git config user.email <e-mail>

before committing & pushing to remote.

but my global config (which is in ~/.gitconfig) probably overrode the local config. Now my real name appears in the changelog as the author. Is there any way I can make it disappear?

Re: Real name leaked to AUR

Not really no, the AUR intentionally rejects history altering commits. I think your best bet is getting hold of someone with actual change rights on the aur-general mailing list or so.

Mod note: Moving to AUR issues.
