As a data point, none of the homograph@ candidates I posted here
on Mar 29 have attracted any attempts on my mail server.

That is an interesting observation.  All homograph@ non-addresses,
if a human corrected the funnies in their spelling, would have hit
whoever handles @80x24.org mailboxes.

I take it to mean that as a future direction, replacing <redacted>
with the obfuscated-but-readable-by-humans homographs is a likely
improvement that would help human users while still inconveniencing
the crawlers.  It may however need some provision to prevent casual
end-users from cutting-and-pasting these homographs, as you said in
your original mention of the homograph approach.

Yes, exactly.

But other than that, does the patch look reasonable?

I only took a cursory glance at it, but v6 seemed fine.

Ditto, I left a small nit comment about a needless /i in a regex, but I
don't think that needs a re-roll.

Thanks, both.

Will tweak the /i out, and re-queue with acked-by from you two.
