Unfortenately bugzilla doesn't have aliases. But an bugzilla admin
could merge your @redhat.com account into your @gcc.gnu.org account
(which updates all references like CCs). After which the @redhat.com
account won't exist anymore, so people cannot add that address to the
CC (or any other field) anymore. Which is either precisely how you
want it and/or confusing to some people.
