Consider using Yeoman API over `npm whoami`

@megawac any thoughts on this? Iirc you implemented the original npm whoami code, or was that @thejameskyle?

Thinking more about it, it makes more sense to use the npm user for the package.json author, and then the GitHub user for the repository URL. Folks whose npm user isn't the same as GitHub will have some trouble with what this package outputs.

Yeah the whoami stuff was an artificat of my original fork. Previously it was using git.username() which bugged me. I originally considered implementing such that if whoami fails it will resolve to

• npm user name
• git user name
• OS user name

but that seemed more effort than it was worth at the time
