The kernel.org bugzilla uses a mechanism that allows anyone to subscribe/unsubscribe from bug reports for specific components. This is done using virtual default assignees and "watched user" functionality of bugzilla.
People maintaining various kernel modules change routinely and in order to make it easier for people to start/stop receiving bugzilla notices for various components, bugzilla.kernel.org often uses "virtual default assignees" like "drivers_foo@kernel-bugs.osdl.org" or "drivers_bar@kernel-bugs.kernel.org", which are not real deliverable addresses (on purpose). Maintainers then subscribe to bug reports that are assigned to these virtual addresses and are thus able to receive the bug reports without involving bugzilla administrators.
