Validate people's commits are linked to a GitHub user #46

Description

@oohwooh

I have noticed several people have their git cli configured with a different email address than what is linked to their GitHub account. This causes issues with the CLA bot and means they might not get credited correctly as a contributor. GitHub has a documentation page about this: https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/troubleshooting-commits/why-are-my-commits-linked-to-the-wrong-user#commits-are-not-linked-to-any-user

It is probably possible to detect this automatically and add it to the validation.
