Not really.

Personally i would not accept people that do not want their email listed, 
there are tons of free email services, you can create one just for KDE 
translations if you want but being able to contact people who did the 
translation is in my opinion *VERY* important.

That said, we allow a different number of emails and names to exist, just add 
an empty email (that is something like "foo@bar.com,,fee@oe.org" if you have 
three translators and the second doesn't want to have its mail public).

Regarding human readable addresses the problem is the same, there is no 
cloaking scheme a robot can not understand an a human can, do you think 
spammers are so dumb not to recognize albert AT kde DOT org as an e-mail 
address? So either do not add an email, add a custom one for KDE only things 
or add the full one, having it cloaked makes no sense at all.
