Hello,

The robots can read the emails addresses of all users who reported a bug or who added a comment.

Those emails can be then used for spam.

Could you provide an option which hides the email address in the visible text
and in the 'mailto' links ?

Moreover, the default behaviour should hide the email addresses. Basically a lot of Bugzilla instances aren't tweaked.

The users could always have a private contact by adding a comment with their
email address. The 'hidden user' could contact them back to the provided address.

Reproducible: Always
