New submission from Skip Montanaro <s...@pobox.com>:

The python.org postmaster received this email today:

Subject: public email addresses

Kind of sucks that this file 1) exists 2) is indexed by google and 3) my email 
is in i\t. I found it by googling my email address to see what would come up.

http://hg.python.org/pymigr/file/e727de0dfeec/addresses.txt
------------

I've asked the website team to see if they can adjust the robots.txt
file, but is there something we can do to a) make it less likely that
this file is harvested, or b) increase the obfuscation of the email
addresses? (Maybe the entire file could be rot13?)
