The steps I took to fix (thanks for the advice on this thread) were roughly as follows:
git config --global user.email "526473+gb96@users.noreply.github.com"
git rebase -i
git commit --amend --reset-author
git rebase --continue
git push

I found rebase -i allowed be to edit the commit message but retained the previous (private) email address in the log.
The commit --amend --reset-author seemed to be the easiest way to replace the offending email address.
