It would be a waste of time to work on that non-issue, as the bugs
are also displayed on many other sites which show email addresses.
There may even be address harvesters subscribed directly to
debian-bugs@lists.d.o.
In short, spam must be stopped at source. It is not possible to
publish *and* to hide completely from spammers. If you are postmaster
on a debian box, please make sure you have active anti-spam measures
and act against any local spammers in a timely and severe manner.
