Could it be made obfuscated or private?

Erik stopped including submitter's emails in the bug CVS to avoid them 
getting spammed; he simply kept a mailbox of bug emails, and when an 
issue was resolved he searched for the submitter's name in that 
mailbox.  I have all this data now, but I think we should keep 
submitter's emails attached to their bugs, so we don't have to hunt 
around for their email to tell them that the problem is fixed.
