I don't think the s:sup:csup: is ok. I think it is supposed to be =20 compatible with cvsup. For the /var/db part it might be ok. > I'm sorry, I shall not send any PR to the Gnats/FreeBSD PR system, > because it is insecure and, or does not obfuscates mail addresses of > the users and hence encourages spammers. How is the "not obfuscates mail addresses" different from a mail to =20 this list? Replacing at (in our archives) with an at =20 symbol is not rocket science and any mail address harvester which does =20 not do this is not worth the use (let alone other mailinglist archives =20 which don't obfuscate the addresses but archive our public lists). =20 Additionally a spammer just needs to subscribe to this ML and he gets =20 a lot of addresses which work without much effort, so the common =20 knowledge is, that it is not worth to obfuscate the mail address in =20 GNATS (the PR is also send to a mailinglist, so it is available in =20 multiple ways you don't have control of). What do you mean by insecure?
