Let us not exaggerate this please.
All plugin developers provide an email address to be contacted in case
of problems/questions. These are publicly available on our website and
in our Plugin Manager application.
Now, because of large changes in our system that will affect all
plugins, the QGIS team wants to send some messages to all plugin
developers. This could be done by hand (adding up all addresses as BCC
in an email program) but it would take up a lot of time. Luckily there
is automation, and we can do this automatically by sending a (bcc!)
message to all plugin developers.
What is wrong about saving time this way? I just do not get it.

I think we should all respect a view held by someone who has voluntarily
created a plugin. My opinion, as a UK data protection officer, is that this
view is in line with data protection legislation. When I submitted a plugin,
I was not told that my email address would be used for bulk mailing.
We can change the terms and conditions to make this the case in the future,
though I would not recommend it. But we cannot use that data for a purpose
for which we did not seek permission.
