Body

When a user merges a PR, the default email is used. The problem is that these GitHub accounts are used for personal and work or other community projects. We are currently able to add more than one email, but depending on the context of what the user is doing, we need different defaults. For example, it is nice that we are able to choose which emails can be used for each commit and PR, but in a work setting we're not going to merging a commit using a personal email into a private repo owned by an org. The identity controls need to be more fine grain. At the very least, we should be able to set specific emails to be default.

The reason why this is important is because we may fail security audits by accidentally using the wrong identity.

A GitHub account should have support for multiple profiles. This will allow people to create a personal, one or more work profiles, other organizations that may have require private control over assets, and maybe even an open source contributor profile. Each of these profiles should be able to have separate notification configurations. This should help solve all of your customer's identity problems.
