There're a property for email https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P968, which is unused https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Property%3AP968&namespace=0 because of this. As arbitrary access is coming, we need to fix it as we can use it in Wikivoyage.

This is important but the site isn't going down because of it :)
