Point out that explicit permission is usually needed to tag other people

certain cases. This fixes slight inconsistencies between Reported-by:
and Suggested-by: and makes the usage more intuitive.

While at it, explicitly mention the dangers of our bugzilla instance, as
it makes it easy to forget that email addresses visible there are only
shown to logged-in users.

The latter is not a theoretical issue, as one maintainer mentioned that
his employer received a EU GDPR (general data protection regulation)

Thank you for taking care of this.
