@orbifx I don't know what a solution to that could look like. Any code hosting service that allows unlimited repository cloning (as it should) will also allow this form of email harvesting.
Perhaps a federated platform could make that less useful for spammers because commits could be associated with fediverse ids rather than email addresses.
@dmbaturin my solution is to move away and not add my projects to one location they can scan. #Decentralise.
Another one is to limit access to git repositories. I know some believe otherwise, but let's see how they'll solve the arising issues.
It'd be harder for harvesters to automatically find and register to multiple #Git hosts. Also easier to spot in small groups.
No thanks to "fediverse" IDs, #email is federated enough :)
