Did you try to ask about it? The only published personal information on
contributors I know of is here:
http://dojo.jot.com/WikiHome/ContributorListing. It lists 169 individual
contributors and 23 companies. I don't recall any contributor ever
complaining about privacy issues. But I think you right --- we have to
spell out our privacy policy.
OTOH you asked how to submit a patch to Dojo in a public forum using
your name and supplying your e-mail address --- don't you think the Big
Brother already knows your "nefarious" intent?

We are an open source group with BSD/AFL license. We don't force anybody
to share. You are free to make your own decisions. Obviously you can use
Dojo without contributing back (see the license).
Thank you for using Dojo,
Eugene
PS: Hmm, it is a thought: forget about software development, let's sell
our contributor lists to spammers and get rich quick... Nah, we love
coding, and we hate spammers.
