Disable email or provide Contact URL on About page

I’m not saying it’s the best way… but a simple way of using a URL on the about page would be to paste something like this into your Admin > Customize >CSS/HTML > </head>

<script type='text/x-handlebars' data-template-name='about'>
<div class='container body-page'>
  <section class='about'>
    <h2>{{i18n 'about.title' title=title}}</h2>
    <p>{{description}}</p>
  </section>

  {{#if admins}}
    <section class='about admins'>
      <h3>{{i18n 'about.our_admins'}}</h3>

      {{#each a in admins}}
        {{user-small user=a}}
      {{/each}}
      <div class='clearfix'></div>

    </section>
  {{/if}}

  {{#if moderators}}
    <section class='about moderators'>
      <h3>{{i18n 'about.our_moderators'}}</h3>

      <div class='users'>
        {{#each m in moderators}}
          {{user-small user=m}}
        {{/each}}
      </div>
      <div class='clearfix'></div>
    </section>
  {{/if}}

  <section class='about stats'>
    <h3>{{i18n 'about.stats'}}</h3>

    <table class='table'>
      <tr>
        <th>&nbsp;</th>
        <th>{{i18n 'about.stat.all_time'}}</th>
        <th>{{i18n 'about.stat.last_7_days'}}</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class='title'>{{i18n 'about.topic_count'}}</td>
        <td>{{number stats.topic_count}}</td>
        <td>{{number stats.topics_7_days}}</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>{{i18n 'about.post_count'}}</td>
        <td>{{number stats.post_count}}</td>
        <td>{{number stats.posts_7_days}}</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>{{i18n 'about.user_count'}}</td>
        <td>{{number stats.user_count}}</td>
        <td>{{number stats.users_7_days}}</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>{{i18n 'about.like_count'}}</td>
        <td>{{number stats.like_count}}</td>
        <td>{{number stats.likes_7_days}}</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </section>

  <section class='about contact'>
      <h3>{{i18n 'about.contact'}}</h3>
      <p>You can always get in touch with us here: <a href="http://www.example.com/contact_form">Contact Form</a></p>
  </section>

Hopefully the Discourse team will confirm this will allow you to leave your contact email in place in the settings.
