Yes, as Adam says, this is our standard and supported behavior, and is used for many ports. I'm not sure it's documented anywhere however, but Adam's explanation is correct; we support two forms of obfuscation, a specific one for the macports.org case, and a more general variety for any email address. The rationale is to cut down on the possibility of spam to committers, though this is only one leak of email addresses, and there are others that remain unfixed (bug reports, irc logs, etc).
The $Id$ tag at the top of every portfile. :(
Uh, you are so right. I never thought about that, but this really makes obfuscation rather useless for committers...
Well, we had to start somewhere. We started with the maintainer line in the portfiles. Next, we need a solution for obfuscating the $Id$ line and trac tickets (use obfuscated Trac/svn logins?)
