What does contributing to GNU have to do with jeopardizing your email?
Spam e-mails. There are bots that scan patch for emails in software forges. Well, the good thing is that I was able to stop this on my new email using GitHub and GitLab's email masking feature. But I don't have this privilege with GNU softwares.
I have never received a spam email on the email that I use for guix patches.
That's true, but mailing list are just one step away from your your email being harvested - web scraping. I had to find this the harsh way on GitHub, so I'm not taking risks anywhere. Ironically, this company was associated with LFX AI and Data Science, something about a vector database for AI, and it was based in Shanghai, so what they did was an asshole move. I could create a spare mail, but then again, I like how most of these Git forges offer a way to mask commit email.
Edit: That company is called Zilliz, and they kept spamming about their product Milvus.
