Yes. It is not possible to get a connection between an email-adress and
a profile within the public smolt pages.
Providing a smolt-pub_uuid in bugzilla would link email and profile.

In general a smolt profile would surely help to debug some hw related
issues, so this option might just be suggested, when this bz client,d
etects that the issue might be hardware related and also points out that
this can be a privacy concern.
