Bug Description
"Last-Translator: forname name <email address hidden>\n"
is automatically added to every .po file exported from Launchpad. The .po files are often available via web-interfaces (SVN) of the various projects and show the email address in clear which can then be picked up by spam bots. Some sort of harvester protection would be nice: <email AT address com> or whatever.

If you set your email address as private in Launchpad, we don't export it, just your name.
We are going to change it soon to set it to the URL to your Launchpad profile so maintainers are still able to contact you.
