Agreed, I searched for "elixir" and the first person returned on the list was a self-identified minor from Europe and the e-mail that was listed (partially redacted) was not the e-mail publicly listed on the persons GitHub page in the "Contact Me" section.

The list appears to be non-deterministic as it changed slightly on re-running the search query, but selling the e-mail addresses of people in GDPR protected regions seems like a not-great idea.

Seems like a cool idea with a risky implementation.
