As far as I understand, it's not a technical problem. The CTAN team
doesn't want to publish anything unless all authors agree.
And the catalogue can only be published if *all* authors agree.
Otherwise it would be useless.
You said "there are many ways of protecting the addresses". Can you
be more elaborate? I doubt that addresses can be protected reliably.

Reinhard
