Description Dotan Cohen 2009-06-23 11:29:07 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.90)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Please replace the mailto links in bugzilla with a page that requests verification before disclosing a user's email address.

I have used the email addresses in bugzilla to contact users and I think that it is an important and critical feature. However, it is simply to easy to log in an scrap addresses. I use unique addresses here in bugzilla (kde-**@myDomain.com) and I have to change them every month due to spam. A simple captcha or other verification system would let users get to the email address, but would cut down on the spam.

Thanks.

This bug intends on implementing a partial solution to Bug 64713.

Well, all mails are also sent to and archived in the public kde-bugs-dist mailing list. So spammers don't even need to create  an account here and log in. They can just join and make use of the kde-bugs-dist mailing list.

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

This would need to be implemented upstream in Bugzilla itself; please report there if it's something you're still interested in. Thanks!
