Ohloh currently does not attempt to automatically tie multiple unregistered contributors together as the same contributor. This makes sense in many cases, because a simple username often does not uniquely identify a contributor.
However, I know of two cases where Ohloh can determine with reasonable certainty that multiple unregistered contributors represent the same contributor.
First, when using version control systems such as Git that include a contributor's full name and email address, it seems reasonable to assume that if two contributors have the same full name and email address (and both the full name and email address exist; don't do this for an email of <>), the two contributors almost certainly represent the same contributor.
Second, if two projects have the same enlistment, and thus the same repository, corresponding contributor names would represent the same contributor.
Also see this thread. :)
