--- Comment #1 from Olivier F. R. Dierick o.dierick@piezo-forte.be --- Hello,
Confusing simultaneity and causality is a frequent mistake. It is possible that you have been targeted by a spammer for reasons completely unrelated to Bugzilla (packet sniffing; security breach at your provider; random dictionary attack).
Then, WineHQ has no control over Bugzilla. Bugzilla support can be found there: https://www.bugzilla.org/support/
GDPR doesn't directly forbid any specific processing of personal information. Anything is permitted if it complies with the GDPR principles. You may read about the principles relating to the processing of personal information there: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-5-gdpr/
Bugzilla requires an user account to be created to report bugs and comment existing ones. --- quote from https://bugs.winehq.org/createaccount.cgi --- A user account is required to report new bugs or to comment into existing ones, as you may be contacted for more information if needed. This also lets other users clearly identify who is the author of comments or changes made into bugs. Note that your email address will never be displayed to logged out users. Only registered users will be able to see it. (...) PRIVACY NOTICE: Bugzilla is an open bug tracking system. Activity on most bugs, including email addresses, will be visible to registered users. We recommend using a secondary account or free web email service (such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or similar) to avoid receiving spam at your primary email address. --- end quote ---
Bugzilla offers no integrated messaging feature. It currently relies on the users providing their emails and their public display. Changing that would require a major overhaul of Bugzilla's user management.
If you want to change that, you should direct your query to the Bugzilla project to the link above. There is nothing WineHQ can do about it.
Since there is currently no other way for Bugzilla users to contact other users than to know their emails and contact them directly and this is stated explicitly when creating an account, this is a legitimate processing of personal information that complies with GDPR.
Regards.
