A big +1 for taking email address out of the list as well.  I don't
think it is at all unreasonable to ask people to create a free email
account if they don't want to reveal their normal one.  Email and IRC is
pretty much how we communicate, and I don't see how somebody posting on
mailing lists/bugzilla could contribute effectively without leaking
their email information in some way.  

The other thing is that handling bugzilla access could get extermely
messy with hidden email addresses.

What do you think?
