Commit author not being associated with GitLab user

It appears that a thing called "Github integration" is not yet enabled.

Following on from #69 (closed) I am attempting to mirror repos from our existing Github organisations. However, this currently requires a token to be created, but https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/import/github.html#import-your-github-repository-into-gitlab states that this is not the preferred method:

"If you are using GitLab.com or a self-hosted GitLab instance with the GitHub integration enabled, that should be the preferred method to import your repositories."

I have tested an import (/geog/committee-listings), but it comes through showing my Github account's e-mail address in the mailto, which I am not at all happy about (being a spam generator). Presumably the full integration allows mapping of my external user to my internal user somehow.

Could you see if "GitHub integration" could be switched on?
