- `githubId` is your GitHub user ID, which can be found at `https://api.github.com/users/<userhandle>`,
- `keys` is a list of your PGP/GPG key fingerprints.
Specifying a GitHub account ensures that you automatically get a review request on
pull requests that modify a package for which you are a maintainer.
`handle == github` is strongly preferred whenever `github` is an acceptable attribute name and is short and convenient.
If `github` begins with a numeral, `handle` should be prefixed with an underscore.
