As a bug triager, I often send mail to people listed in the bug list and therefore their addresses need to be displayed. Either way, the same information is accessible in the mbox files in the bug log, so there's no point in obscuring it in the BTS web pages. As for the mailing lists, all the spammers have to do is subscribe to the list to get all the email addresses. Also, since our mailing lists are replicated at many different sites, obscuring email addresses in our archives is completely ineffective. Also, to head off the suggestion that we turn email addresses into images: blind people or people with low vision should be able to use the BTS, too. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
