Would somebody please create a tracker about this?

The current behaviour is not acceptable. We can't direct potential 
contributors to the Meisters page and leave them there without any 
contact information.

Another idea to protect the privacy of the meisters would be to create 
'anonymous' email accounts like address@hidden that forward to 
a personal mailbox.

If there is an agreement on what we want to have I can prepare a patch.
