I use a masked email for Git too. Always have. Last 5 years or so it's just been the GitHub provided mask e.g. <numeric-ID>+<username>@users.noreply.github.com

Masked email or separate email is the way.

That won't save you in this case because that email address still identifies you. It's an anti-spam measure, not a privacy measure.
