Millions of emails for developers and no one harvesting this info thought it wise to obfuscate it in some way?
- akerl_ 12y agoObfuscate the emails that are clearly visible on github.com? I think by this point it should be pretty clear that email addresses, like domain names, are not secret information. Obfuscating the data would have mangled useable information for a goal of blocking people who would have had no trouble gathering that information anyways.
- bhuga 12y agoEmails are part of commits, which are hashed as part of normal git operations. There's no way to make repositories public and not make emails public.
