I am a bit disturbed by the somewhat flippant responses to this privacy issue. It reminds me of Google's attitude: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/12...misses-privacy Just because you don't think that this isn't important doesn't mean that you should dismiss those who think that it is.

I would like to understand why maemo think that they can ignore the DPD, just because it is an upstream bug. The server administrators might want to consider who is responsible for the maemo.org servers and the legal implications thereof. I think you are sorely mistaken if you think that "it's an upstream bug" will hold up in court.
just creating a bugzilla account doesnt give away your email. just like joining mailing list. but what about posting stuff? can you do that anonynously?

...excellent analogy

e: and removing account could leave multiple crippled bugs when ones every piece of content would be removed. what about quoted messages etc?

imo only warning to signup is good enough. its ones own fault if he doesnt read the small print
