Comment:

 In the cases listed here, the plugin authors have specifically set this as
 their `Author` header in the plugin -
 https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/cleantalk-spam-
 protect/trunk/cleantalk.php

 I don't think the directory should specifically strip out email addresses
 if people deliberately put it into a public header, and regardless, the
 email is public as part of the code and will be shown in the wp-admin
 dashboard once you install the plugin.
