Ok. A quick note on this: I don't know if you already run version 2.18
or newer, as the bugzilla doesn't advertize it... If the version you
have is older than that, you should definitely look at the obfuscation
feature introduced in that version.
 The obfuscation is very simple (replace "@" with "@"), but at
least in the past it has been effective. The patch in bug 120030* is
really short, so it's worth looking if it applies nicely to your version.

Second point: at least Red Hat bugzilla** has a template that makes
usernames appear as just text (without mailto link) when the user is
anonymous. I'm not sure if this is available in upstream bugzilla code base.

    Don't bother reading most of the comments -- 98% are not relevant,
    and the patch is simple.
