Nice compilation. It is good that Google has taken this seriously and are working to fix it quickly. We will probably see a few more like this as things like Google, Facebook Connect, Twitter become federated Identity Providers to many sites on the net. I must say though personally if it is only harvesting my email address I don't really have a major issue with it, I use my email address everywhere and signup for lots of services, Gmail is very good at spam filtering and with unsubscribe.com and prioritized inbox I don't have a problem maintaining a zero inbox. Doesn't mean it is not a bug that they shouldn't fix, I'm just saying that perhaps the impact is not as large as the votes that got this to the frontpage of Hacker news implies.
