Do you think this is a security risk and if not is it a bad UI decision?

Bugzilla's a dreadful place to have discussions. The lack of threading
means unpopular decisions tend to just result in large numbers of
contentless comments which make meaningful discussion impossible - it's
a nightmare to find appropriate context. If a project doesn't have a
mailing list then Bugzilla may be the least worst choice, but where it
does then make use of it.
