Using Django as a Pass Through Image Proxy (via) Neat idea for running development environments against data copied from a live production site—a static file serving handler which uses a local cache but copies in user-uploaded files from the production site the first time they are requested.

Nice idea, but I'd still be slightly concerned about (say) obscuring people's email addresses so you don't accidentally send them mail from your dev system.
I'd also be wary of data privacy issues. In this case, it should be OK, as you're requesting public information from the other web site. But it'd be easy to go one step further and request privileged information (I'll just read the browser's cookie file, so I can get the stuff I need…).

I haven't tried it yet but with the new email authentication backend you could just send non-whitelist addressed messages to /dev/null rather than sent out for delivery.
