I feeded the email address of Tadashi Yanagihara into Google and got 2 hits: 1. Freshports not an official FreeBSD.org site, but Dan could=20 probably implement some mailaddress crippling if he wants. 2. His universities homepage publishes his Emailaddress without mailto Feeding it into Google Groups I got 4 hits: 1. Newsgroups mirroring cvs-all and cvs-ports.=20 To pipe followup discussions to the PR orginator would require generic emailadresses like PR-no@gnats.freebsd.org. Bugzilla has this feature. But i am not sure if GNATS supports this feature. =09 2. Newsgroups mirroring freebsd-bugs and freebsd-ports. One possible Implementation would be to replace all reporters addresses with freebsd-gnats-submit@ but this isn't 100% safe as the email addresses could be in CC too:=20 I would like to point out, that send-pr already contains a warning: SEND-PR: BE ADVISED THAT FREEBSD PROBLEM REPORTS ARE PUBLIC INFORMATION AND SEND-PR: WILL BE PUBLISHED AS-IS ON THE PROJECT'S MAILING LISTS AND WEB SIT= ES. SEND-PR: DO NOT SUBMIT ANY INFORMATION YOU DO NOT WANT MADE PUBLIC. Perhaps we can add to this warning, that PUBLIC INFORMATION includes the Fr= om:=20 Emailaddress. regards tilman --wRRV7LY7NUeQGEoC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/fpo5fCLDn4B6xToRAlAMAJ0eUZf+3MeSmXUq3F3ZInYg+wDhwQCgj72f D0gLkDUcEnCzrx6bsh0t+vs= =t5iu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --wRRV7LY7NUeQGEoC--
