This isn't about contacting people or communicating the status of a Github project. Github issues are fine way to communicate. If the repo owner isn't responding to issues, I don't think sending email to someone's personal email found through GIT commits is a good option. There is a reason we don't just have everyone's personal email on their Github profile. People don't want spam from people they don't know.

It's Git, not GIT.

Anyway, if you tick the keep my address private box on https://github.com/settings/emails, the email field on your profile won't show.

I don't think this is a big issue.
