I think it's nice that people have their real email in git commits. Gives it a personal touch when you are looking through commit logs. Some clients even display gravatar profile photos... I understand and respect that some people may prefer to stay anonymous. But if you are hiding your email just to fight spam, I don't think it's worth it. I prefer being easily reachable and dealing with a few spam emails that get through the filter.

If you are committing to a github repository, then you are not hard to reach.

  You’d be surprised, a few times I’ve had to resort to using commit emails to reach someone because their contact information wasn’t anywhere else. I’m not spamming, and I’ve never gotten a negative response. It’s just that some people don’t think about setting up a personal site / publishing contact info.
