For reference, the change applied (the address of emails from bugzilla 
contains bugzilla_noreply at kde.org) are needed to avoid rejections from major 
email providers. It's bad and sad, but it's as it is.

What exactly breaks your workflow? Bugzilla provides headers with all the 
information, if needed (and kmail shows some of them). You see the name of the 
person. I receive bugs from bugzilla too, either through emails or directly. 
How does the workflow is broken exactly ?

That's not all the story and the problem is more complicated. Not implementing 
the change means rejected emails. Sad, I don't like it too, but I don't see 
how this specific change is impacting any bugzilla workflow heavily.
