If you have a problem with that, create a dedicated email address for PHP bug
reporting (those can be had for free from about 9000 free email providers).
Most of those also have pretty effective anti-spam filters.

Also, if I try to change my mail to prevent it from being on a public website,
this e-mail is still being shown in the "History" section of the bug report, so
I really can't remove it! Please, do not show e-mail addresses in the "History"
section.

Description:
------------
I just filed a bug and I just noticed my e-mail is publicly shown in plain
text, just replacing "." with "dot" and "@" with "at".
Do you really think such a crude way of "obfuscating" an e-mail address is
going to stop spammer bots from harvesting it?
The e-mail should not be visible at all to begin with!
But if you absolutely need to display the e-mail address, please use a more
advanced way of mail address obfuscation.
Expected result:
----------------
E-mails should never be shown in a public website directly reachable from
search engines.
Actual result:
--------------
Do not show e-mails in a public website.
