Skip Montanaro s...@pobox.com added the comment: Tom Pinckney thinks it's a big deal. I suspect he might be interested to know why you think it's not. We are entitled to our own opinions about privacy, but the request at hand concerns another person's privacy.

Georg Brandl ge...@python.org added the comment: Your interpretation was correct indeed. It's an email address we're talking about here, which is necessarily a public bit of information, not a private one like a Social Security or credit card number. Anyway, the repo is now private, so nobody will be able to access any version of the addresses.txt anymore via python.org. -- status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue11575 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment: The question is not why, it is how. This file is part of the scripts used to migrate from svn to hg. These files themselves were maintained in an hg repository (it could have been an svn repository), for obvious practical reasons. And that repository was online since there didn't seem any reason to do otherwise (and, again, it's more practical). We could of course make this repo less visible now (but I think we still need to migrate the peps repo).

New submission from Skip Montanaro s...@pobox.com: The python.org postmaster received this email today: From: Tom Pinckney thomaspinckn...@gmail.com To: postmas...@python.org Subject: public email addresses Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2011 13:03:21 -0400 X-Spambayes-Classification: ham; 0.13 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?) -- messages: 131145 nosy: skip.montanaro priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: addresses.txt file leaks into search engines ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue11575 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

If Google ignores the robots.txt, then someone should complain to Google. -- nosy: +georg.brandl, pitrou ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue11575 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
