So I raised this issue with upstream about 2 weeks ago, and here is my experience: 1) I suggested that the email clarification could be put into the covenant itself, or in a supporting FAQ. 2) The project maintainer (Coraline Ada Ehmke) was pleasant and supportive of changes to enhance the document, and said either approach would be fine. 3) I noticed that there was a FAQ in progress of being created. 4) After thinking about it, I decided that I didn't want to alter the langu= age of the covenant, because I didn't want to dilute the expression of a need t= o get permission when revealing private information. My own opinion is that putting clarifying language in a FAQ is sufficient. So I made the following recommendation for the (not yet included upstream) FAQ: Q: Does the prohibition on publishing private information include email add= resses sent to a public list? A: No. Information that has voluntarily been published to a public location= does not fall under the category of private information. Such public infor= mation may be used within the context of the project according to project n= orms (such as in commit meta-data in code repositories), without that const= ituting a breach of the CoC. You can see the history of discussion in these two issues, online: https://github.com/ContributorCovenant/contributor_covenant/issues/590 https://github.com/ContributorCovenant/contributor_covenant/issues/575 I hesitated to post these, because a formatting error in one of the posts m= akes me look a bit dumb. :-) I don't know what progress is being made adopting the FAQ, but Coraline see= ms very supportive, and I've told here that I will come back and help with it if it= stalls. Honestly, I believe Linux will adopt its own FAQ or some similar document, = so with the Contributor Covenant adopting the clarification as a separate document, I d= on't know if Linux would inherit it (ie include the Covenant FAQ in our source tree).= However, I think that the existence of this email clarification in the upstream FAQ would st= ill have a beneficial effect for all downstream users of the covenant, so I view this = as a useful exercise. -- Tim
