But more importantly you can't expect that people go ahead and change all (any really) of the existing git or mercurial clones of the repository. You can probably trying filing bug requests with github or bitbucket to not show email addresses (or better yet not show full usernames in the cases where the username is an email address). But my recommendation of course is to use an email client that can deal with spam for you. No matter how hard you try to hide your email address sooner or later someone puts up an archive of a mailing list you are on and exposes your email address.
