Maybe the RIR's should set up system like whois privacy where the published addresses are all under RIPE.net domain and forwarded to hidden addresses. The public RIPE.net e-mail addresses could also change periodically. That way you have no privacy issue and the addresses "time out" so harvesting for future use is useless.
Thats what I already liked to discuss a year ago on this list, without big response. There defny should be a system like this to hide all personal email addresses from all kind of harvesting, simply because its personal data and RIPE NCC has no reason to give it to other people and it needs to be protected much better (at least according to German law).
