I’ve used that in the past to reach out to developers, and had fruitful discussions. (And they didn’t seem to mind; it’s great to find fellows interested in the same niche/obscure topic!) I was under the impression that it was a very deliberate choice for git to store/show email, and part of participating publicly in a software project involves attaching a name/email to commits. If one doesn’t want that exposed, then it’s okay to have some junk/null value. The worst thing would be for some automated software to weaponize this by mining email addresses from git repos and spamming them or selling them to marketers. <this is why we can’t have nice things>
