How does this part apply to email addresses used to commit code?

* Publishing others=E2=80=99 private information, such as a physical or ele=
ctronic
address, without explicit permission

It appears to me that this would conflict with the GPL since the GPL
granted the right to distribute (or even print it in a book) Linux and
Linux contains email addresses.  This also seems contradictory with
the Reply button I used to send this email.

How do you reconcile working on a public project while keeping email
address secret?
