An account is a mailing list, e.g. security at mozilla.org or 
developers at bugzilla.org or a newsgroup feed mozilla-webtools at mozilla.org

you want it to get mail, but you don't want people to ask for the 
password, to change the password, or to log in as that user.

it's in contrib. it's not officially supported.

as to assigning bugs to a disabled account, i like assigning bugs to 
nobody at mozilla.org, but i don't want nobody at mozilla.org to log in.

note that a disabled account is not offered by completion, so typing 
nobody@ will not suggest nobody at mozilla.org
