Is this obscuring really needed? The email address will get copied to
the commit log, which got stored on our website, on FreshPorts, gets
mailed to mailing list, from there it goes to a dozen of web archive
sites and also gets to the newsgroup. Hell, even PR copies are being
posted on usenet, raw, and unobscured. They also go to freebsd-bugs
mailing list, again with an web archive online.

If one whiner whines about his email address displayed on project
website, then he should be told to not submit at all. Or to use private
mail to an interested committer instead. The loss would be minimal.

Are we going to extend this email address hiding to all other places?
That would lead to an inability to contact originator of a given
change/feature/new port. That would be a major problem for the project.

ACK.

Excerpt from send-pr:
SEND-PR: BE ADVISED THAT FREEBSD PROBLEM REPORTS ARE PUBLIC INFORMATION AND SEND-PR: WILL BE PUBLISHED AS-IS ON THE PROJECT'S MAILING LISTS AND WEB SITES.
SEND-PR: DO NOT SUBMIT ANY INFORMATION YOU DO NOT WANT MADE PUBLIC.

maybe we should add something like: YES, THIS INCLUDES YOUR EMAIL-ADDRESS!!!1
