Which means you likely weren't invested in engaging in a meaningful manner. That is especially important for filing a bug report on an open source project.
And I guess I just don't view a phone number as having much value from a privacy standpoint. Basically every number is compromised to the point that it is dependent on your phone/service provider to block spam.
