That would explain it. The bug tracker at bugs.kde.org is a public
system. Part of the action it takes when you report, comment or change
bugs is to send emails to publicly accessible mailing lists which will
contain your email address. This is likely how the spammers discovered
your address.

This is mentioned quite clearly when you register on Bugzilla.
