+1 to the sentiment behind that query. 

Personally I have no requirement for anonymity about the fact that I run Tor relays, so that may colour my views, and may influence what others think about my views. But I do sometimes despair about the angst some people display over not wanting an email address associated with one or more relays. In my experience of close to a decade or more of running relays, with a clear email address in my config file, I have not experienced any spam which I could attribute to that fact. Nor have I seen much in the way of spam to /this/ address, which as Gus has pointed out, is visible on a public mailing list. 

Please just add a proper contact address to your relay(s). It will help the project, and will hardly hurt you at all.

Best
