(Migrated from github.com)

This would allow for different user accounts for the same person based on say platform (e.g. github, gitlab, MyCoolGitSite). This would idealy have some kind of easy switching system as well as identifier like color or icons. Would need some kind of smart way to differentiate between them during cli operation as well
This would allow for different names on different platforms e.g. github vs gitlab. Would be nice to have a list of providers in your config (by default filled out with most common git hosts) which the user can extend. When creating an author you have a optional item to click that would take you to a list selection of the services in your config and ability to create a new service in that list mode. Default selection is github. This will require a breaking change to the current author file format.
