Gitweb extracts content from the Git log and makes it accessible
over HTTP. As a result, e-mail addresses found in commits are
exposed to web crawlers and they may not respect robots.txt.
This can result in unsolicited messages.
...
Will queue as-is.  Input from those who are more adept at Perl
and/or interested in helping polish gitweb are still welcome, but at
my level of interest on the topic, this version looks as good as it
gets ;-)
Comments by anybody who is more adept at Perl and/or more well
versed in gitweb and e-mail privacy issues?

Otherwise I am inclined to merge it down to 'next' as-is in a couple
of days.

Thanks.
