Need help on GitHub usage. I wonder if there is a way to communicate with a github.com user i.e. write the user a message when only username/id is given on their GitHub page? Does GitHub have this social feature?

This method was working as of Jan 2022
- Copy and paste the next line into your browser (feel free to
bookmark it): https://api.github.com/users/xxxxxxx/events/public - Find the GitHub username for which you want the email. Replace the
xxxxxxx in the URL with the person’s GitHub username. Hit Enter. - Press Ctrl+F and search for “email”.
As suggested by qbolec, the above steps can be done by using this snippet:
<input id=username type="text" placeholder="github username or repo link">
<button onclick="fetch(`https://api.github.com/users/${username.value.replace(/^.*com[/]([^/]*).*$/,'$1')}/events/public`).then(e=> e.json()).then(e => [...new Set([].concat.apply([],e.filter(x => x.type==='PushEvent').map(x => x.payload.commits.map(c => c.author.email)))).values()]).then(x => results.innerText = x)">GO</button>
<div id=results></div>
