#3The obvious evolution of this would be to host email and allow users to forward:

Saw this problem in the bootstrap project where we still can't get in touch with ~10% of users to get them to approve the addition of an MIT license:

Why does everyone hate recruiters? I'm a developer and I just don't get why other devs hate them so much.
See them for what they are(sales people wanting you as their next product) and get over it.

This would make it trivial to spam every user of GitHub though, by first spidering the site for public usernames.

It's a sign of how spoiled we are that we complain when people try to find us employment.

because there's no unsubscribe. i went through a few recruiting agencies 5 years ago to get a job and now that my contact info is in all these recruiter databases, i get emails and/or phone calls almost daily. Even if I tell one recruiter I'm not interested, there will be a different one bothering me tomorrow. The worst part is that many of them are contacting me about jobs in a city that I don't even live in anymore.

Thank your choice of profession that you even have this 'problem'.
I would literally dance on my hands if I were hounded (courted?) this way in my choice of profession (bio/pharmaceutical research)!
Hell, if someone knows where else I could put up email, phone and CV to be seen by successful recruiters, please let me know.
Quit the whining and be a bit more thankful for what you do have. Sheesh!

They're trying to cash in a fat bonus, not getting people a job first and foremost. At least the ones who message me after not reading my profile, just having a single buzzword match.
