I side with Steve's view here. Now, we *could* obscure the personal data in a way that it won't show on general web searches — Say, something as trivial as omitting the person's name, and publishing the file with just sha256sum(email). This still allows us to make an easy querying interface (even allowing for historical information on a given mail address). Of course, this would omit the fact we are dealing with people and not with mail addresses. Am I "gw...@gwolf.org" or "gw...@debian.org"? (But OTOH, am I "Gunnar Wolf", "Gunnar Eyal Wolf Iszaevich" or "Big Bearded Troll"?)
