If you open this plugin info page:
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/FieldEvaluator/
you will find my email-address in the details tab. Same for all other
plugins.
Indeed it is not shown in the Plugin Manager, I wasn't aware of that.
But it is in the metadata.txt file which is downloaded by all users
together with the plugin. Quite publicly.
Problem with asking plugin developers to subscribe on a plugin ML is
that a part of them will not read/do it and therefore won't know the
impact of near future QGIS changes, which is bad for QGIS and many users.
For now, let's ask Paolo in what way he is intended to use this.

Hi all,
Raymond, I'm not sure plugins authors mail are **publicly** available,
neither on plugins.qgis.org nor in the Plugins Manager. User do not need my
email to reach me about an issue; just report it to a bug tracker (which
everybody should provide). The only persons who have access to name and
mails are QGIS Plugins team admins.
That said, most of us write in this ML with clear emails :)
What might be unclear in Paolo's mail is about a creation of a list. You
already have the mails, what is needed to be created then? Do you need our
acceptance to compile in a database the list of plugins authors and
adresses if this list is only available for the team and not for the
public? I assume this is just to join people easily about their plugins
(evolution).
I'm for a plugin ML and as already stated by some of us, no automatic
adhesion. People should be invited to voluntarily join it thus a list of
mails (at least for the first invitation)

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.
