Before 2.6 comes out...

[Juergen Reuter]

... I would like to ask if the e-Mail addresses in the ChangeLog could be 
either encrypted or replaced by e.g. http addresses.

> From carefully analyzing some of the countless spam mails and delivery 
failure notification mails, it looks like as if the ChangeLog file is one 
of the major sources for the spam robots.  Maybe, for the moment it would 
suffice to just protect (i.e. cryptify or remove) the addresses on the 
online version of the ChangeLog file at 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/out-www/ChangeLog.html
(and analogously for older versions of lily), but on the long term, I 
would like to see the e-Mail address banned from the ChangeLog file, 
since mirror sites may at any time publish a copy of the ChangeLog file 
from the source tar-ball, and spam robots may start scanning source 
tar-balls sooner or later (note that e.g. google already indexes 
g'zipped ps files).  What do you think?

Greetings,
Juergen
