if this is an address publicly visible from commits, anyone can do it
set a noreply address for future commits
git config --global user.email “username@users.noreply.github.com”

I do a folder catch on anything, it basically is a no reply, but still irritating and would like it to be reportable.

but that’s how git works… if you have public commits anyone can get that email, it’s not github leaking it, it’s you

I never said GitHub was leaking me? I said someone who has a GitHub repo is scraping GitHub emails and spamming. Seems like the kind of ToS violation GitHub would want to know about.

I don’t think it violates ToS, it’s public data. One can even search for emails directly like this and get millions of matches
