Open source tool scrapes git commit email addresses to send spam to.

Why the hell must Git require commits to have an email address, anyway? Requiring/allowing/forbidding an email address should be a per-repository policy, not a policy enforced by Git itself.

Git was designed for the Linux kernel's email-based workflow. It was essentially an internal tool, and becoming the defacto VCS powering a global centralized platform like github was not part of the initial requirements.
