This is the discussion etc from before - I have no idea/opinion if it is correct |
IMHO it's an option that should be switched OFF by default. If people want to publish their email address via RSS feeds, than that should be an informed choice. From the following information I think that an RSS feed without email address information is still valid. Required channel elementstitle + link + description Optional channel elementsmanagingEditor - Email address for person responsible for editorial content. Elements ofA channel may contain any number of items. An item may represent a "story" -- much like a story in a newspaper or magazine; if so its description is a synopsis of the story, and the link points to the full story. An item may also be complete in itself, if so, the description contains the text (entity-encoded HTML is allowed), and the link and title may be omitted. All elements of an item are optional, however at least one of title or description must be present. author = Email address of the author of the item |
I just checked the specs for Atom feeds at https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/atom.html |
I stand corrected 🙇 |
👍 And thanks @brianteeman for the remove configuration.php tip to test the patch with settings that need to be set during installation. The settings are configured during installation and therefore it's not possible to test this PR in a normal way using the Patch Testing Component. Test ProcedureBefore the Patch

Set default RSS setting to display email address to OFF
A default installation of Joomla leaks email addresses of the website & authors via RSS & ATOM feeds.
Even when you have RSS not enabled (via Content > Article Manager > [Options] button (on the right) > "Integration" tab > Show Feed Link: set to Hide) visitors can see the RSS/ATOM feeds of Category Blog items & Contact items by adding ?format=feed&type=rss or ?format=feed&type=atom behind the URL.
The default setting of Joomla is to show the "Author" email address in tag for every RSS feed
and the general site admin address in tag.
(via System > Global Configuration > Feed Email Address > default = Author Email)
This PR sets the default to "No Email".
