AFAIK what you're seeing is the fact that Emacs's sources were not under
RCS before 1985 (I believe the corresponding commit history is lost) and
that there was no "email" recorded with users back in the RCS and CVS
days, so the corresponding identifiers were mapped (somewhat manually)
to the corresponding email address.
The closest to the early commit history we have is
https://github.com/larsbrinkhoff/emacs-history combined with the
ChangeLog files.
Stefan
