Dan -

The contents at that site are the raw contents of our CVS version
control system. If you are a Fedora package maintainer, perhaps you
included a non-obfuscated email address in a changelog or something.
You are free to obfuscate mail address in the changelogs of your
packages, although I don't personally, there are many ways my e-mail
could be obtained if someone wanted it :)

Obfuscating anything at the URL in the subject may break things, and
in any event would not be the complete corresponding source to a
binary build, therefore we would be prevented from doing so via the
GPL, I believe.
