The following baker's dozen current email addresses belong to core 
bugzilla.mozilla.org bugs classified as either Linux or All platforms, 
changed at any time prior to 2004, in the capacity of assignee, QA, or reporter:

aaronlev at gmail com
akkzilla at shallowsky com
asa at mozilla org
bugs at pettay fi
bzbarsky at mit edu
dbaron at dbaron org
hsivonen at hsivonen fi
kairo at kairo at
mcow at well com
mozilla at davidbienvenu org
rbs at maths uq edu au
roc at ocallahan org
timeless at bemail org

Does anyone recognize any of them as reporter, owner or QA on 
bugs.launchpad.net, or even as commenter there, or on any of the *buntu forums?
