Description of problem: I managed to come up with this Bugzilla page on Google, which means that spam spiders can use Bugzilla, too. I was wondering if one of two things could be done to correct this: 1. Make Bugzilla a members-only site. 2. Have Bugzilla do e-mail address obfuscation like what is done on the Red Hat mailing list archives, such as <dkl redhat.com>. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): current
I got this URL, too, so apparently Google can search the newer system as well. <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=152858>
Red Hat's current Bugzilla version is 2.18. I am moving all older open bugs to this version. Any bugs against the older versions will need to be verified that they are still bugs. This will help me also to sort them better.
Red Hat Bugzilla is now using version 3.2 of the Bugzilla codebase and therefore this bug will need to be re-verified against the new release. With the updated code this bug may no longer be relevant or may have been fixed in the new code. Updating bug version to 3.2.

Bugzilla currently has lots of bugs access restrictions, not all bugs are viewable to public or non logged in users, there are groups restrictions, private comments and private attachments. > 2.

This has been achieved in bugzilla 3.2 as only logged in users to bugzilla can see email addresses of other bugzilla users, non logged in users can not see any email addresses.
