On Bugzilla, all users’ email addresses are public as explained in the Create Account page, not only in email notifications but also bug activity, flag requests and actually everywhere. There’s a plan to allow using a username instead of your email, but the work has been stalled. I’m marking this bug a duplicate of that bug.
