Yes. The only reason it seems to be working from you is that someone
setup permissions for you long ago? Without that you wouldn't have
permissions to see fedora_contrib private bugs and it wouldn't assign
new packages to you correctly.

Yes, we need to add anyone using @fedoraproject.org aliases for bugzilla
to a mapping so it knows to do that for that user.

fedoraproject.org aliases are only active for "contributors", ie people
with at least one non cla group. There's currently no way for it to know
what you want to do if you have the alias, some people may want to use
it, others may not. :(

We are going to be revamping this soon hopefully and can come up with a
solution (perhaps a bugzilla_email pref or 3rd party pref or something).

Please file a ticket and let us add the mapping so things actually work
with your account _and_ you stop getting emails about it.
