Good point, we should do that.

That said, the days of hiding your email address to avoid spam is long gone.
Use a proper spam filter and you'll never see any of it.

In my Gmail, I get about 40 posts a day in the 'spam' folder.
I look if anything stands out, if not, click "All", then "Mark Read"
and they're gone in 30 days.
Takes about 20 seconds a day.

At work we have a gateway that filters out spam and sends a daily
digest listing what it caught.
I can release mail myself, but it does a false positive about once
every two months, so it's not like it's a problem.

AFAIK, there's plenty of open source antispam software out there too.

So I don't see the point in hiding your e-mail address anymore, I
think it's a thing of the past.
