The public availability of bugzilla e-mails has caused people to
use specific e-mail addresses for that (presumably for spamtrapping);
they may not want to use this for general Fedora mail.

FWIW, the account<->bugzilla discrepancy applies to all of 8 users,
at the moment. So I'm not sure how critical it is.
