Description of problem: There is no email address for the reporter, when looking at an individual bug. This can make it difficult to know where to direct people, and/or whether or not a feature request can go directly into featurezilla (internal requests), or if a featurezilla needs to be created separately and pointed to. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a bug in bugzilla's beta (Eg https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta1/show_bug.cgi?id=135313) 2. Notice that there is only a reporter name, and not an address 3. Actual results: No email address for the reporter! Expected results: Email address either being in the bug, or easily found via a link from the bug, so I can tell where things need to be directed during triage. Additional info:

My original reasoning for doing this was to keep all communication inside of Bugzilla by forcing people to use the ui interface. Also I had complaints using the old Bugzilla about the possibilty of spam bots farming email addresses from public bug reports. My three options here that I would like comment on are: 1. Only show email addresses if viewer logged in with a proper account. Wondering though if someone can create scripts that log with valid accounts and farm emails that way. 2. Convert all user emails to "user AT domain_com" or something similar and then force the user to fix the address in their client before sending a message. 3. Leave it as is. Any other methods or comments? Dave
perhaps only show emails to privileged accounts
I'm fine with either 1 or 2, since I only need the address to know where a bug originated from.
Fixed in new beta, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta2
