The Contest extension doesn't seem to offer a way for participants to say "no thanks" to the whole idea. This wouldn't generally be problematic except that people are being spammed via e-mail about the coding challenge with no way to opt-out. There should be a way to disengage via the Contest UI, surely.
I asked Greg about this while creating the extension; he said there was no need for such functionality.

For the purposes of this challenge, we've manually removed people who've requested to be removed. Going forward, if we do use the extension in its current form again, I do think that a removal feature would make sense (as part of the "my contests" page, and as a link we can add in email).
