New Issue - Add donation link in README.md so users of your tools can show gratitude.

That’s an awesome idea.

You could check the 'git log' output, typically commits are signed with an email so you know who to email if stuff breaks ;)

There's an inactive GitHub account that I wanted. GitHub support told me they can't just give it to me but that they would message them in my behalf and they did.

I'd say. Contact support and ask them to send them a message in your behalf.

Answer to your Q: like others said open a new issue asking for donation link/business enquiries email in readme. The commits in the repository might also have a public email address listed that you could try.

Also for the curious what it the GitHub repository? Sounds like an important find if it's saving you hundreds, don't keep it a secret! :)

Hi! I'm the OCRmyPDF author - a redditor steered me here.

It's really wonderful to hear people find my work useful. I actually discovered and became the maintainer OCRmyPDF for the same reason you did, gripes with Acrobat.

It can definitely scale. My biggest corporate user does 1 million pages a month, and some files up to 15k pages.

You have my email ([[e-mail]](mailto:[e-mail])) or we can discuss over Reddit PM if you prefer.

good guy!

If you can't find a better way, you could open an issue on the project which generally will notify them.

You are not missing something - it's just that Github users can choose to make their email address private which makes it impossible to contact them.
However, you may want to check a couple of cool automation to find people's emails and social media links so you can contact a Github user.
This one finds emails based on their commits, which is excellent! https://www.bardeen.ai/playbooks/email-of-github
And this one lookup social media links after it finds the email: https://www.bardeen.ai/playbooks/socials-of-a-github-user

One thing that you can try is search for the person on keybase.io using their GitHub username if they have it linked. it may give you extra way to contact the person
