That list is public too.
Yes, and that's exactly the issue I am reporting here and what we should
avoid spreading to other public mailing lists.
But the address exposed here was in the body, so perhaps your reference
[3] could be used to deal with that scenario.
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.
Whatever caused it, it needs to be reverted now by whoever has access to
do it; the details and eventual related fixes can be discussed later.
This issue is affecting 50+ committers to the www repo.
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.
