Unicorn submitter's e-mail address revealed in public changelog

[ptomasek@…]

When a translator submits a translation of Unicorn via the web interface (e.g.  http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/translations?ucn_lang=cs), the provided e-mail address is then made public on W3C's web page. Spammers skim the e-mail address from the web page and abuse the translator.

The following places show translator's e-mail address:

1. Comment in the properties file (#Submitted by Name <e-mail>), which is revealed by http://code.w3.org/unicorn/changeset and http://code.w3.org/unicorn/browser

2. List of changes at  https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/unicorn (3rd column shows Submitted by Name <email>)

The Unicorn's translation web interface should also note that the e-mail address provided will be made public. There is no privacy statement available.

This issue has been fixed a few weeks ago. Since then a translator's email address is not published anymore. This does not apply however to translator submissions prior to this fix. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
