The idea here was because it's a carve out that doesn't give permission
and because the permission is ruled by the project contribution
documents, the carve out should be broad enough to cover anything they
might say hence "email addresses not ordinarily collected by the
project" are still included as unacceptable behaviour.

Perhaps if you propose the wording you'd like to see it would help
because there still looks to be some subtlety I'm not getting.
