Hello,

while creating an account, i read "your email address will never be 
displayed to logged out users" at 
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/createaccount.cgi

but unfortunately the public gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org mailinglist expose the 
email address only slightly obfuscated:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2015-09/msg02263.html

For me, that was a surprise as the "never be displayed to logged out 
users" sounds very restrictive. Maybe the comment should be removed?

Regards,
Jens

Thanks for your report.  You're right, it is misleading; will look
into removing the false promise of email address privacy.
