It doesn't at the moment. It only offers a link to open 
https://bugs.kde.org/createaccount.cgi in web browser, which asks users 
to offer one email address and sends the confirmation mail to that email 
address.

Bugzilla does provide the web service API for creating new account, but 
in effect it does not make difference. It asks for one email address and 
sends the confirmation mail , too. It is doable, but I don't see
real advantage.

I think bugzilla only cares about email addresses it has already 
verified (meaning registered accounts). It doesn't care about random 
email addresses.
