I assume you don't mean bugzilla spammers -- as preventing anonymous
searching and viewing doesn't really help there -- but e-mail spammers
harvesting addresses from bugzilla?
 Personally I believe this is a bad solution for an issue tracking
system: Although the fear of spam may prevent some people from
submitting bugs, making the bugzilla practically invisible will probably
do more damage (bugs won't show up in search results for example).

The fact that new users may not know that their email address will be
publicly viewable is a problem, but that can be fixed by adding a note
to https://maemo.org/bugzilla/createaccount.cgi. As for older
accounts... well, that milk's already spilled.

No integration is actually a good thing at the moment, as many garage
accounts just do not work on the core website: now I can at least file
bugs when things don't work.
 It would be nice to know if there is any progress on this (I'd like to
work on the wiki).
