There are only two domains that are of interest here -- openjdk.java.net 
(which we have traditionally been using) and openjdk.org (which we would 
like to transition to, but things are moving slowly for this kind of 
changes within Oracle). There is no openjdk.net nor java.org, so you 
don't need to test those.

Skara is creating commits for OpenJDK projects with the form 
<openjdk-id>@openjdk.org, so that is what you need to add to your github 
profile to get commits connected to your profile.

The PR comment mail bridge bot sends mail with the sender specified as 
<openjdk-id>@openjdk.java.net.

The reason for this disconnect is, I assume, the fact that commits will 
be Forever<tm>, and there we want it to look right from the start. But 
the mails are sent right now, and for practical reasons it was simpler 
(if not "simple") to get openjdk.java.net mail working, than for 
openjdk.org.

I assume the long-term goal here is to make the bots send mail using 
<openjdk-id>@openjdk.org as well, and to get that MTA working. I believe 
Tim is working as well as he can to push this forward, but this is an 
unusual request within Oracle and that unfortunately makes it painful 
and slow to go through with. :(
