There are at least a couple of ways to reduce the annoyance of "people will abuse knowing your email address". I think most of the "you didn't know email is easily readable in your commits" are responding to "try and hide your email address". This is kinda tough, since you need to know how each program you use works well enough to know what's public or not. (Or you need a way to have disposable email addresses). I think another is "adjust expectations and response". I think if your starting assumption is that an email address is public, or that your email address will receive garbage, then it's easier to mark it as spam, complain on social media, and get over it.
