We’ve had several groups misuse data like this in the past and like all 
software LimeSurvey has security issues [1]. The risk may be low but it exists.

I believe they created a list than included non apache.org emails as well, i.e. 
emails people used on the lists. That which probably get a better response rate 
and a number of angry emails.

Take a list at random I can see that about 20% of the email is from an 
apache.org address, most people tend to use other address other than their 
apache.org email.

Thanks,
Justin
