Well, this is made more awkward by the fact there's no guardrails on
the "field" for this in the wikitext. We don't require people use a
particular format - so some people just put an unobfuscated email
address, some put a name and an email address, some obfuscate the email
address. We also don't require or ask that people list the email
address they use in Bugzilla - so even if we can parse the address, if
it's not the one we use in Bugzilla, we're stuck.

See:
https://pagure.io/fedora-pgm/pgm_scripts/blob/main/f/changes/createbz.py#_47
and:
https://pagure.io/fedora-pgm/pgm_scripts/blob/main/f/changes/createbz.py#_105
for the work the script does to attempt to handle all this.
