It's certainly easy enough to do - just commenting out a few lines that
check if the commit changed the doap file.

Undecided if that's a good thing. I don't quite like making people doing
something else have to stop and fix the mailto: URLs, but it would be a
more sure way of getting things fixed, at least for active modules.

Appended is a list of all modules with doap files failing validation as
