I've been using the above syntax on websites for a few years and it's
worked well so far.  I realize that it's only a matter of time until
_some_ (definitely not all) harvesting bots will start to pick it up.

In RPM spec files?

If you're aware of some examples, please point me at them.

Anyway, I am now converting our spec files to use the following syntax:

-* Fri May 06 2005 Solar Designer <solar@....openwall.com> 1.0.3-owl1
+* Fri May 06 2005 Solar Designer <solar-at-owl.openwall.com> 1.0.3-owl1

E-mail addresses not in RPM %changelog's (in comments, in documentation
files, etc.) will continue to use spaces instead of the dashes.

Thanks to everyone who responded!
