Apart from e.g. kde-common/accounts other people already mentioned that this 
is simply not entirely true. But let's not start this flame, doesn't help 
anyway. =)

Options we have:
1. remove the mail addresses.
2. obfuscate (html entities, is it mailto:<...> or can the mailto itself
   even be obfuscated?)
3. use other addresses like mailing lists or web pages as contact

The template used on techbase is Template:Feature [1]. If you want, you can 
play around with it. Another option is to remove the mail part for now in 
the template, but if you click "Edit" on the pages where this template is 
used, you'll still see the addresses as plain text.
If the general consensus is that the addresses are not needed (*), we can 
take option (1) and be done with it ;)

(*) did it ever happen that $you were contacted via this page?
