I'm not sure you can conceal your email address in practice if you contribute changes to Emacs (or to any other projects with a public repository). That's because anyone could see your email address by just walking the commit logs. And many projects, Emacs included, have a special mailing list where each commit is automatically posted, with all its information, so anyone accessing the archives of such a list will also see the email addresses of the contributors, and crawlers can pick them up. Thus, I'm not sure why you should insist on obfuscating the email address in just those patches, since it will be visible in other places anyway.
