Summary

  • Replace generic @netresearch.de email addresses with GitHub-native references
  • Add support section to package metadata with Issues/Source URLs
  • Use GitHub Security Advisories for vulnerability reporting
  • Use GitHub Issues for general support/contact

Motivation

Generic email addresses in public repositories attract spam and create maintenance overhead. GitHub provides better mechanisms for each use case:

  • Security: Private vulnerability reporting via Security Advisories
  • Support: Issue tracker with templates and labels
  • Contact: Discussions for general questions

Test plan

  • Verify package metadata is valid (composer validate)
  • Verify links in documentation point to correct URLs
  • Verify no functional email addresses were removed (only metadata/docs)

Replace generic @netresearch.de email addresses with GitHub-native
mechanisms (Issues, Security Advisories, repository URLs).

- Remove email from package metadata (composer.json, ext_emconf.php)
- Add support/issues URLs to package metadata
- Replace security contact with GitHub Security Advisories
- Replace support/contact emails with GitHub Issues links
- Remove email from PHP docblock @author tags
- Use OCI labels in Dockerfiles

Code Review

This pull request replaces generic email addresses with GitHub-native references for support and contact, which is a good practice for reducing spam and centralizing communication. The change in config.dist.php correctly removes the email address from the author tag, aligning with the PR's stated goals. The change is straightforward and I see no issues.
