Invalid Github Auth scope

The github auth url is https://github.com/login?client_id=2b2a9dcc53df88ddf452&return_to=/login/oauth/authorize?client_id=2b2a9dcc53df88ddf452&redirect_uri=http://www.freecodecamp.com/auth/github/callback&response_type=code&scope=email

Here, scope=email parameter is not a valid scope according to https://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/#scopes

If it is meant to retrieve only the public data of a user, scope is not required to be given. Or if it is meant to retrieve both public data and private email id, then scope should be set to user:email.

Currently, using an invalid scope, only public data is retrieved but not the private email id (if this was not intentional). https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/blob/staging/server/passport-providers.js#L147 https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/FreeCodeCamp/blob/staging/server/passport-providers.js#L161
