DetailsHi. I would like to tell you something, but it is neither about a bug nor a package, so I might send it to the wrong department. I am sorry if it is this case.
I think you should take a look at this page, "aur.archlinux.org/account.php?Action=AccountInfo&ID=XY" . It seems that with a simple script anyone can get the email database of AUR users. |
This task depends upon

yes, but to make an account is not so difficult and it takes less then 30 seconds.

but there are many ways how to secure the mail and at the same time to be able to contact users..

Well, there's no way to allow complete protection without completely hiding the mail addresses. Any obscuration can be undone by a script. It just costs a bit more.

-1 from me on this. Anything done to obscure the e-mail addresses will most likely have little effect on anyone after them and only hurt users.
