Details

When using github auth, BMO gets a list of the github user's email addresses.
It ignores unverified ones, and tries to match it against BMO profile using the login_name. 

Bug 1372629 gives BMO the concept of verified email addresses,
When mapping the GitHub user to BMO, this additional information should be consulted (leading towards a future where login_name is not an email address for at least some people)
