Guard AUTHORS.txt email addresses against spam

Generally done by replacing @ with something else.

This is kinda silly, as our emails are in the commits as plaintext anyway.

And if you don't think spammers can just substitute anyway...

I dunno but if I type my public address on Google it only comes out a few times, most matches being AUTHORS.txt:
https://www.google.fr/?gws_rd=ssl#q=%22adri-from-59%40hotmail.fr%22

According to http://techblog.tilllate.com/2008/07/20/ten-methods-to-obfuscate-e-mail-addresses-compared/ this somewhat reduces the spam.

Spammers don't do Google searches.

I want my email displayed as it is in my commits and mailing list posts, not obfuscated. I don't think it makes sense to use anything but the email string chosen by contributors for their git commits. Email harvesting bots are more than clever enough to handle all of the common obfuscation methods like foo AT bar.com anyway.
