Well, since gitweb already exposes all of those in the "commit" thing (in 
a different color, but they are there), I don't see why "commit-diff" 
wouldn't show the same data..

I would certainly _hope_ that every developer has a spam blocker. I don't 
think not showing email addresses is the answer to _that_ particular 
problem (and if somebody wants to harvest the email addresses for a git 
project that is exposed with gitweb, there are more efficient ways to do 
that ;)
