Bug Description
It'd be nice if each launchpad account came with a <email address hidden> email address that forwarded to their provided email address.
This would provide:
* additional privacy (PGP key email address, changelog email address in submitted debdiffs, etc.)
* greater email permanence (good for changelogs)
* possibility for abuse by spammers
To reduce spam problems, perhaps only launchpad itself would be allowed to send messages to the <email address hidden> email. That would limit its usefulness, however.

I'd be very cautious about doing this; such accounts generally offer very little use (considering, for instance, the source forge users ones).
