Pull request notification mail to wrong email address - and therefore 3 years delayed.

Question

Body

Three years ago someone created a pull request: CarloWood/libmemleak#6
which I never noticed because I have too many repositories to manually look at them once I consider them "finished", and the notification for pull request was sent to "aleric.inglewood@gmail.com", which I never read - but not to my (main) account's email address?! I just found the pull request by accident and merged it, and again all notifications went to "aleric" and not to me...

How can I get this fixed?

Could you please make sure the email address that you went emails to be sent to is your primary email address for Github?

[CarloWood]

My normal email address is (and was) the only email address and is marked as primary.
I still get ONLY emails to that other address however. I even unsubscribed repeatedly as that user from those emails, but to no avail.
Note that this other account is marked as collaborator for this project. I could just remove it as collaborator, but would like to understand why this is broken (it is).

I didn't get an answer. Why is this closed? :/.

This was never addressed by github. And seeing at all the replies here, I assume nobody actually looked into it either.

I have the same issue. I've set up a secondary email to create a custom routing. Basically if the repo is from work, I should receive the emails regarding that repo to my work email. But at the moment when I use github to login, I'm receiving emails in my secondary email (work) instead of the primary one.
