If you refer to that email above, I did not change it, that maybe
automatic protection of email address, I was thinking you are the one
having some Lisp software that is rot13 the email address to be

My domain is gnu.support, and email address in the header should
appear just fine.

transitioned to GNU servers.

For transition of mercurial to git, this software may be of help:
