It seems this is not consistent with the definitions one can find, such as:

It's obfuscated. Spammers are not likely to make much use out of it.

If you're trying to hide your email from the Internet, then that may
be a problem, but that's totally consistent with the ENTIRETY of
Ubuntu's mailing lists. If you have a problem, you need to bring it to
Ubuntu as a whole. There are ways around this given the software used
(mailman), but it's not Lubuntu's fault. You should look at the main
lists page and find some people to contact there:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/
(yes, all those lists have this problem)

This is the default for mailman, actually. Not hard to fix, but it
does need to be applied universally and Ubuntu as a whole would need
to agree with it.

Good luck,
