bugzilla supports groups, administrators create groups and allow
people the ability to control membership in that group.
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/groups.html

bugzilla admins can also specify products for which a group are applicable.
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.0/html/parameters.html

once a group is created, members are added and the group is enabled
for a product, people can add bugs to the group according to the rules
specified for the product.

the [typical] end result is that when you (a member of a group) view a
bug (in a configured product), there will be an extra checkbox in a
special area which allows you to restrict membership for the bug to
the group.

note that restrictions are additive, a bug restricted to two groups
can only be viewed by users who are members of both groups.

note that there are some users who will be able to view the bug
anyway, this includes the reporter and the assignee. for a given bug
you can control whether the cc list and the qa contact can see a bug.

note that today, defect.opensolaris.org does NOT use https for access,
which means anyone between a member of a group and the server can see
your 'secret' bug. This is a bug in the configuration of
defect.opensolaris.org (and not related to bugzilla, which is fully
capable of working over https).

Also please keep in mind that mail is typically delivered for bugs,
and it's generally sent via unencrypted smtp.
