Is there any reason why we must show the email address? Of course, we need that adresses in our database to manage the news, but do we have to show it to the visitors? Why not simply let the submitters input their name and then show this?

If we want the visitors to be able to send mails to the submitter, we can provide a simple email form (sendmail.php?to=newsposter&id=123 or something like this) so nobody will ever see the mail address...

as long as we allow news items for all kinds of sub/side projects related to
postgresql, i think we ought to have some kind of distinction that these
items are not coming from the core project itself.
