  • emails

  • Supposedly, you can activate "Keep my email addresses private" in https://github.com/settings/emails which should replace your actual email with a GitHub provided relay-address. You can also set that relay-address as your git commit email. It's unclear if the GitHub API will also show that email though, where I think they are getting the emails from in the first place.

    What we collectively can do is to send an email to [email protected] every time it happens, with the repositories/email addresses involved in this, and short-term GitHub will remove them from the platform (making it less profitable for them to do so as they'll get removed) and hopefully over time GitHub will improve protecting their users privacy.
