Synopsis: send-pr database is spam harvested
State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended
State-Changed-By: ceri
State-Changed-When: Tue Dec 2 02:10:29 PST 2003
State-Changed-Why:
There are many reasons why we can't filter out the email addresses,
including, but not limited to:
o The email addresses in the PR must be correct for contributors
to be able to ask further queries of the submitter;
o The PRs must be sent out to the mailing lists for people to
see them and supply fixes, etc.;
o The GNATS database is public information, and is distributed
to anyone who wants it over CVSup;
o The web site can be harvested for addresses just as easily as
the mailing lists.
However, I'll suspend this for at least 12 months in case anyone comes
up with a brilliant idea to get round this.

Responsible-Changed-Why:
This is one for the bugmeister; as the previous entry states, don't let
this discourage others from working on it.
