Emails in git commit logs are not a secret, which I wish more people understood and acknowledged. In general I don't think that expecting your email address to be private is reasonable. If you collaborate with others online, they should be able to get in touch. Stuff like this is an unfortunate consequence, but a manageable problem imo.
- baddox 7y agoEmail addresses in general are not supposed to be a secret. They’re supposed to be for people to send you electronic mail. Remember when there used to be books that contained everyone’s phone number? If you’re a high profile person or are particularly guarding of your personal communication, I think it’s your responsibility to maintain separate public and private email addresses. You should only be making commits to open source projects with an email address that you intend to be public. It’s literally there so that people can email you about the commit.
