I just get 500 on the homepage, and my profile also 500s when logged out. Most other things still seem to work, including https://github.com/settings/profile where I could turn it off.

Avoid committing to GitHub with your company email | Jun 2016

If you're trying to avoid making your email public via GitHub, you should also ensure:

1) "Public email" is set to "Don't show my email address" under https://github.com/settings/profile

2) "Keep my email address private" is checked under https://github.com/settings/emails

It's frustrating that these are still two separate options - worse still that I believe I had the first option set when the second was added, unchecked by default, resulting in me leaking my email about a year ago. The spambots had it anyways, so I guess it wasn't that big a deal... and hey, maybe they added a warning someplace like I suggested?
