If bots really want to collect email addresses from bugzilla there are
other ways to do that: The 'bug report changed' email sent by bugzilla
contains email addresses anyway:
hsteoh at ... changed:
What |Removed |Added
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Status|NEW |RESOLVED
CC| |hsteoh at ...
Resolution|--- |INVALID
Also all these messages get posted to d.D.bugs including full email
addresses. This archive can be indexed by crawlers:
https://www.google.de/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fforum.dlang.org%2Fgroup%2Fissues&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=V1I5WM3QI8Kv8wfJsrKwAw#q=site:http:%2F%2Fforum.dlang.org%2Fgroup%2Fissues+hsteoh
Additionally every logged in bugzilla user can see the email address of
any other bugzilla user when reading a bug report.
TLDR; better use a good spam filter :-(
