Yes, as Adam says, this is our standard and supported behavior, and is  
used for many ports. I'm not sure it's documented anywhere however,  
but Adam's explanation is correct; we support two forms of  
obfuscation, a specific one for the macports.org case, and a more  
general variety for any email address. The rationale is to cut down on  
the possibility of spam to committers, though this is only one leak of  
email addresses, and there are others that remain unfixed (bug  
reports, irc logs, etc).

Implemented by the following code in port.tcl:

proc unobscure_maintainers { list } {
     set result {}
     foreach m $list {
         if {[string first "@" $m] < 0} {
             if {[string first ":" $m] >= 0} {
                 set m [regsub -- "(.*):(.*)" $m "\\2@\\1"]
             } else {
                 set m "$m at macports.org"
             }
         }
         lappend result $m
     }
     return $result
}
