There are many people who can not endure receiving many spams
(ex. dialup ppp, slow connection, ...). If we do nothing on
this problem, some people may think that "If I submit PR,
I will receive many many spam. So I will not submit PR."
It's not good.
I propose to do followings:
o delete "mailto:" tag
o use "username at foo.org" instead of "username@foo.org"
Any comments?
