The email addresses of submitters and those who have CC'd themselves are certainly visible to anyone who creates a Bugzilla account (there are no limitations), just as to anyone who subscribes to an issues@ list or accesses an issues@ list archive. People should understand that there is no email-account privacy for email addresses used in those contexts. That applies to forums and wikis that projects operate or are affiliated with projects. (One difficulty we have is people who write to users@ without realizing they are writing to a mailing list. That does not happen too often though.)
There is no policy that involves hiding of email addresses. There is a desire for transparency and also visible provenance of contributions. As Jan remarked, an alias is one semi-transparent way to contribute in a manner that does not reveal one's personal email account or identification. (Apache committers automatically have @apache.org email addresses as aliases, although they are amazingly under-used.) Folks who choose to operate anonymously will have difficulty participating in Apache Projects, although one can register an alias so long as an actual identification is recorded with the Secretary of the ASF. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Mathias Röllig [mailto:mroellig.n...@gmx.net] Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2015 05:18 To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: [Q] Question about Mailarchive Hello! >> A special case is bugzilla.

I do not talk about the content - only about the email addresses. And these are not public in bugzilla.
