This is just FUD clickbait[1]. Of course your email is visible in git commits; you don&#x27;t have to mess around with metadata APIs to get it!<p>This tiny article is literally an advertisement: &quot;For those curious about &lt;buzzwords&#x2F;FUD keywords&gt;, get in touch with me at &lt;email&gt;, &lt;feel-good blurb&gt;.&quot;<p>[1] &quot;you <i>will</i> torch your ability to send any emails w&#x2F;o them going to the spam folder.&quot; WTF? This is neither explained nor justified, and is simply false. In fact, although I&#x27;m not a big fan of github-recruiting, I would think for a developer publishing your email in your commits is a good way to get <i>more</i> recruiting email!
