Some of these emails are from disturbed and/or desperate people. [1] and [2] for example. I’m all for having a smirk at some clueless people now and again, but some of these strike a darker tone and it’s a bit unsettling.

At the end of the day it’s sort of his fault for having a domain called “haxx.se”, regardless of if that was his intention or not. Putting emails online of poor people who have found their way to emailing him, desperate to restore their accounts or begging him to not hack them again is… weird.

It’s beyond having a smirk, and putting these confused people’s troubles into some kind of GitHub zoo for us to laugh at feels wrong.

I think you're being a bit uncharitable with the intentions of the author.

From the author in the comment section of the blog post from your first link:

'I’m showing this email here on my blog as an insight into what it is to be Daniel, author of curl. I don’t understand how you can make this into “making a profit of”, since this is just an email someone sent me and I’m not revealing any details to allow anyone to identify who this person is.'

The only insight I can draw from this is that “Daniel, author of curl” has to sometimes ignore unwanted emails?
