Yes, if you go to

    http://bugzilla.novell.com

to create your account, you are indeed asked for your address and
telephone number.

But there is an easy way to avoid that: Go to

    http://www.opensuse.org

instead and create your account there! Click on "Create an account or
log in" at the top of the welcome page of "http://www.opensuse.org"
and follow the instructions.

Because the theme on "http://bugzilla.novell.com" cannot easily be
changed, an alternative theme for creating accounts was created for
"http://www.opensuse.org" which does not ask neither for your
telephone number nor for your address.

The result is the same in the end, it doesn't matter at all whether
you create your account on "http://bugzilla.novell.com" or on
"http://www.opensuse.org", it is the same account.  Doing it in
"http://www.opensuse.org" just avoids that you have to enter your
address and telephone number.
