The very real problem with direct contact info is that people latch onto it.
Then, if there's another issue the person will bypass your form submission,
send a direct e-mail - which would then not be dealt with if that particular
person wasn't working, for reasons ranging from vacation to no longer being
with the provider in an abuse desk role.

Been there, done that.  Been out of the country and offline for 36 hours,
reconnect and there's a user with a problem that would have been dealt
with 36 hours earlier if they had sent it to our help desk instead of to me
directly.
