That would be sad. Before I was stupid enough to make it public, I 
thought of the small pagerank boost we gave companies which used 
Bugzilla as a way to say "thankyou".

I don't think this has happened in the past - all the emails I get have 
a real ring of genuineness. I think I might start with being deeply 
sceptical, and if that doesn't work, we can add rel=nofollow to new ones 
or suspect ones.
