I propose an alternative theory: github and other services exposing unobfuscated addresses in commit descriptions. Reasoning: Gerrit requires JS to see anything at all and it's not too popular to become a specific target for spam bots' authors. I also failed to find any specific reports of Gerrit facilitating spam. If I use duckduckgo to search for "Åke Rehnman" I see some hits containing email addresses, some are only trivially obfuscated. Or am I missing something? What specific mechanism of obtaining emails from gerrit do you have in mind? -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ OpenOCD-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openocd-devel
