"This application will be able to read your private email addresses."
I did take up the case with the Exercism admins. This is their response:
This is how GitHub oauth works. If you sign up with GitHub, GitHub gives us your email address. I think they’ve entirely misunderstood what’s going on here. It’s not like we can then magically read things on their computer…
Regardless, that’s language on GitHub’s side, not ours, so I’m going to mark this as wontfix.

Hey, if irv doesn't want to share his github email with the iHID folks, that should be his choice.
Would be nice if they could let you sign up with a custom (read: throwaway) email address, instead of requiring Github (which would require creating a throwaway Github account with a throwaway email).
