 still do not understand why that is not found in the repo.

 Unfortunately, most of the profiles code is not open-sourced, for various
 reasons that aren't really important.

 But as Otto said, this isn't a code problem, this is an anti-spam problem.
 Evidently the TLD (Or, more likely, individual sites) are setting off
 alarm-bells in Akismet, likely due to a higher-level of abuse / spam from
 the TLD (which might also explain why its' more popular...)

 Post the URL you'd like to update your profile with and a profiles admin
 can make it happen and train the anti-spam system in the process, but
 other than that, there's no changes that we can make via this ticket.

 ''I'm closing this ticket, but you can still respond to it. There's no
 point keeping a Trac ticket open for something we can't change, aside from
 marking a profile update as not-spam and submitting an upstream report,
 which I'll do today.''
