Ummmmmmmmmmmm about that.  How is this part supposed to work on gcc's
bugzilla?  I just made myself a test user there, with no one else's
approval, and ended up with a user that could append to an existing
bug.  I think someone may have pooched the bugzilla administrative
setting "createemailregexp", setting it to ".*", at some point.
Should these be set to a magic value to actually impose restrictions?

That's a matter of <template/en/default/account/create.html.tmp>, which
is now updated on sourceware-bugzilla.

That's a matter of any bugzilla administrator reading this mailing list
and doing the deed on the administrative Users/New form:
