Yes. A couple of possibilities there: (1) convince macosforge to move
away from [EMAIL PROTECTED] for their user names, relying on name only, or
(2) find a way to let svn see (and report) only the user end of that,
or (3) move from $Id$ to $Revision$ or remove the keyword altogether.
Note that (1) or (2) would also solve a number of other related
issues, such as on trac, cia.

Following discussion with several of you, and more thought, my
thinking is now:
(1) Obfuscate plain text email addresses by using the form:
- tld/domain/username
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ==> com/bar/user
- if there are multiple components in the hostname, only the dot
before the tld is turned into a slash:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ==> com/foo.bar/user
- If the domain/tld is macports.org, then it may be dropped:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ==> user
Note that this is machine reversible, and also fairly easy for a
user to produce manually, both of which are important considerations.
(2) If a Portfile is submitted with a maintainer email address
containing an @, we will accept it as such (this is up to the
submitter/maintainer).
We're providing a means by which port maintainers may
obfuscate their address, but not mandating that they do so.
Note that this is also a machine detectable situation.
(3) There are a number of other cases in which email addresses
may show up. This doesn't attempt to deal with all of them yet.
Small steps.
Among these are:
- CIA commit pages
- Trac commits and perhaps bug reports too
- Mailing list archives
- irc logs
If I don't hear any contradictory pleas soon, I'm going to move
ahead with this, perhaps including auto fixing all the portfiles.
