The link to my project is not clickable, and masterbranch tells visitors they need to sign up to talk to me.

Classy.

Hey, it worked for GetSatisfaction.
Visitors can't contact users which are not registered. We did it in the past, but you're right, it was classy, and we changed it. http://blog.masterbranch.com/post/3570253595/were-listening-...

The project page is under review and we'll link to the original page for sure.

From your blog post: "Unclaimed profiles are now NOINDEX. We’ve also changed profile URLs so that indexed profiles by search engines will start being de-indexed."

Not true--your contentless scrape of my github project is the second result for that project name in google. I just made the project yesterday, so it's not a case of the project being already in an index.

I don't want to "claim" my project--it already has hosting, a mechanism for contacting me, and an issue tracker.

By "profiles" I meant user profiles, not project pages... as I have already said, this pages need to be improved, and the aim is not to supply the original page but to complement it.
