There are definitely other places that display the user's real e-mail
address. Of the top of my heads, the code in Bugzilla::WebService::Bug's
_bug_to_hash needs to be changed.

    if (filter_wants $params, 'assigned_to') {
        $item{'assigned_to'} = $self->type('email',
$bug->assigned_to->login);
    }
