The publication of email addresses of participants is a core part of our policy of transparency and clearly set out in our Privacy Statement https://www.ietf.org/privacy-statement/
That document doesn't say much about email addresses. It just says they're part of Personal Data.
Quoting directly:
"The IETF/IRTF/IAB operates in an open and transparent fashion. As a part of this transparency, any contributions, submissions, statements or communications that you make to any Party including any Personal Data, other than as expressly excepted in this statement, will be made public through electronic and other means."
It then lists the Personal Data, which will be "made public through electronic and other means." and that includes email addresses.
You're right, sorry for having been shallow.
Curiously the statement makes an exception for IP address but not for email
address. Probably it assumes that people logs in using the same email address
they publish rather than a different, "technical" one. Quoting:
Technical data will be collected in our web server logs such as, operating
system, browser version, and IP address. We do not make such information
available to the public.
