Problem :
I realized, after having submitted a comment to bug 319538, that the
e-mail address I used is published in clear on
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugspam.cgi?bug=319538 .
It's considered good practice to avoid publishing people's e-mails
publicly without explicit approval.
I guess you assume that contributors take care themselves.
Anyway, the address stephane at gourichon.org that has been appearing on
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319538 for a few
minutes should not stay there.
It's an important personal address that I can't replace, I've kept it
out of the web to avoid it being irremediably "dirtied" by being
harvested into spammers' databases.
I've visited http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ but found no information about
spam protection or way to cancel a post.
Incidentally, I clicked on
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugspam.cgi?bug=319538
expecting a form or some other way to indicate which part is spam.
Instead, the system immediately reported the whole thing as containing
spam, which was not the extected behaviour.
Suggested solution :
As a simple solution to this, can you simply delete my message
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319538;msg=47
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I'll repost it using an address that is already public (and spam-ridden...).
If you wish to mangle the address it's ok, or you can replace it with
e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Suggestion :
Many sites (e.g. SourceForge) offer some kind of spam protection for
contributors. I am surprised that Debian does not take care of that.
Other sites (e.g. w3c.org) ask (by automated e-mail) confirmation that
the sender wishes to have its contribution published on their website,
which I think is a good idea.
Thank you for your attention.
