That list is public too.

It looks to be caused by this change [1]. I'm not sure the rational for
changing it, but I added Ineiev to CC. Maybe he will be open to
reverting that change.

MHonArc (I think that is what Savannah uses, maybe I am wrong) has some
options to make mailto options harder for spammers to harvest [2],
substitute addresses in message bodies [3], and some other anti-spam
stuff [4]. Maybe those can be considered.
