I should clarify that I am not that bothered about privacy on maemo.org - I use the same username here as I do on several other sites and it is trivial for people to find out my real-world identity. Off the top of my head I can't think of any situations where you might want to hide the submitter's e-mail address, but at the same time I think it is not right that the e-mail address is made public without warning. You can easily imagine that someone might want to set up a throwaway e-mail account for reporting bugs if they knew that this setup was in effect.

But the revelation of e-mail addresses is really a side issue. The real problem for me is the inability to delete accounts, as this is a legal requirement and other websites (specifically Facebook) have got into trouble over this.
