It is not in LDAP.

LDAP contains userids, names and email addresses for SSH accounts. We do
not store peoples configured git identity setting, nor their Bugzilla
id, nor the email address used on mailing lists.

The LDAP email addresses might:
 * reflect what a user configured in Git, but it doesn't have to be the
   case
 * be the same as their Bugzilla email address, but might not (e.g. for me)
 * be the same as what is used on a mailing list, but not required

But in every case: could be the same, could be different.

Also, we update LDAP details when requested. History is not kept.
