A google search "@gmail.com site:aur.archlinux.org" gave me 3800 emailaddresses!
Spammers/Scriptkiddies can do the same thing.


Solutions:
1. Require login before downloading (not a good idea/quickfix)
2. Don't include the email in the PKGBUILD, but in a database and allow mails via a webform.
3. Kill all spammers ;)

I found my emailaddress in a package that i had deleted (aur.archlinux.org/packages/rapidsvn-svn/)
but thats an whole other bug.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  This is about the accounts pages rather than the PKGBUILDs, we're never going to be fixing the emails in PKGBUILDs "bug" but I'm going to open a new bug about the accounts pages.

This is similar but not exactly the same. Meh, same-ish bug I guess
