Thanks for the interesting information Andrea.

IMO, if we are going to make these available on our site we should make 
it so that people do not have to go to these extremes to find the 
author's email address. I like the idea that the emails are "embedded" 
some way in the extension/template itself, but the email address should 
also be available for people to see as one of the section in the file 
description itself. This will add a little more transparency as far as 
the original submitter's identity.

Cheers
