The biggest problem is that it's a bit annoying to see obfuscated
addresses everywhere (see the way your email was quoted above), and I'd
say most of the time this happens just because the checkbox to obfuscate
emails is checked by default in Gmane when people subscribe a new
mailing list there. Aand since most lists don't do that doing so only in
Gmane is somewhat pointless. However, if the official list archives also
omit email addresses I guess I can live with that.

This is the other, related problem: the changes look OK, but patch
number 1 CC's myself and contains a "From:" line in the commit message
that shouldn't be there -- this happened because when I saved the posts
with my original patches and re-applied them with `git am', the
obfuscated email addresses were used in the new commits and git later
saw it as being different from what I have set in my git config.
