Normally you can only see email addresses for bugzilla users when you are logged in with a valid account. When a bug is cloned, the various comments are placed into the initial comment textbox by default. As bug 170518 shows, the email addresses of the people who made the previous comments are leaked.
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.
Verified this is still issue in 3.2. Need to update enter_bug.cgi to clean out email addresses from cloned comments.
Red Hat Bugzilla is now using version 3.4 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 3.4.
Red Hat has now upgraded to Bugzilla 3.6 and this bug will now be reassigned to that version. It would be helpful to the Bugzilla Development Team if this bug is verified to still be an issue with the latest version. If it is no longer an issue, then feel free to close, otherwise please comment that it is still a problem and we will try to address the issue as soon as we can. Thanks Bugzilla Development Team

This behavior still exists and should probably be fixed.
I guess the solution is to put the name instead of the e-mail address in cloned comments. Any change would only affect cloned bugs from that point on, we would not change existing cloned bugs. -- simon
