Sure. But Colin said that munging email addresses or not was
controversial. So my point is that if the bugsubmitter does not want his
address to be SPAMmer-parseable he should be allowed to do have it his way
(after all it's his post IMHO). To that end you could have that as an
option:

Package: hello
Severity: wishlist
MungeEmail: yes

and f.ex. reportbug could set that. Of course the bugreport parser or the
web-backend must be able to recognize the embedded instruction and act
accordingly.
