ClamAV does that so that security-related bug reports remain private.
The submitter can always ask for the bug report to be opened to the
public if the bug report is not security-related. FreeBSD essentially
does the same thing as they ask those submitting security-related bugs
send reports to a special email (secteam at freebsd.org) instead of using
Bugzilla.
