Most of these I also very much agree with, however I doubt that *we* want to hide e-mail addresses from public (unauthenticated) web browsing. In my book the open development model of Debian is tied to the fact that we the developers are responsible *and* reachable. Our users can see who made the distribution they are using. That is a feature. I've also seen very very few complaints about the fact that the BTS shows email addresses if submitters and contributors. And I'm definitly not aware that we identified this as a problem! Also, I don't really see how to keep all the e-mail features it currently offers, while hiding email addresses. I quite often look up email addresses in bugs and contact people directly, definitly more than once per months. -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ OpenPGP: B8BF54137B09D35CF026FE9D 091AB856069AAA1C ⠈⠳⣄ War is peace.
