The author is on Mastodon under the handle @noqqe@tilde.zone

(Also, their contact info on that site is outdated and links to an older profile, which thankfully refers the viewer to the new one)

Reminds me of dev.null as an e-mail address, but perhaps the service is more useful(?). I had access to the back-end of the mail server in question and it literally had /dev/null in the configuration.

And yes, it ate any e-mails sent to it.
