I suppose also that it is too easy for e-mail addresses to be harvested 
from places like this too.

I'll look into how difficult it would be to reverse the mapping and use 
FAS names in owners.list instead of Bugzilla.  This might help to simply 
some things... although it would still need a hard-coded mapping hack in 
order to allow for the few people who have e-mail addresses that don't 
match.
