Why don't we turn that feature off? It's clear that it can cause
confusion, and we don't mangle addresses in the web archives of the
lists.

If there is support for it I can ask gmane to swith it off. But this is not
a good idea i find.
The email adress is not realy mangled but "encrypted". If you send a email
to a @public.gmane.org email adress you recieve a auto-responds that you
have to confirm befor it is forward to the real adress.
It is a very good anti-spam function and you still can send a email to
person. It is one the reasons i like the gmane acces to much, your email
adress is save from spammers.
