You can't because bug 218917 is only resolved in Bugzilla version 6. 
And the "bugzilla website" (whatever that is) does not run version 6 yet.

Assuming you mean this Bugzilla instance, bugzilla.mozilla.org (aka BMO), it does not have the username feature from bug 218917 (that will be re-implemented in another way for this site at some point).

Note that when you create an account here, you are warned about this:

If you wish, you may request that your account be disabled and your email removed from your user account by filing a bug under bugzilla.mozilla.org :: Administration.
