One major disadvantage, at least of the current Trac version we use, is
that e-mail addresses are not obfuscated before they are delivered to
webbrowsers and other http clients (including spam-bots). On the other
hand it's necessary to specify a working e-mail address when filing a new
ticket, for example, in order to get notification e-mails when the ticket
is modified.
This issue should be fixed, and I currently see different solutions:
1. Hoping that Trac 0.10 has such an obfuscation feature. This is the
first thing that needs to be checked, since we will switch to that version
sooner or later anyway. If 0.10 has it, no time needs to be spent on
elaborating the other solutions below.
2. Local modification of the Trac codebase. This would be yet another
patch that needs to be maintained, and my experiences in Python might not
be enough to get that done easily. On the other hand I'm interested to
learn Python, and this might be a good occasion.
3. Finding an [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/filter.html output filter
for Apache2] that allows to modify the HTML output via regular expressions
before Apache actually sends it to the client.
4. If such a filter does not exist: write one.
3 and 4 might be interesting since they can be used generally and probably
would be useful for other tasks as well. 4 probably would be easier than
2, at least for me, since I already know C and don't know much Python.
I have to look at that right when I come back from vacation.
