Please edit your www.novell.com account profile at https://secure-www.novell.com/selfreg/jsp/protected/manageAccount.jsp and it will sync over to Bugzilla.

By random, I found this bugreport, so I could change my email address. 

There's should be at least a link in bugzilla which tells me, where I can change my email address!

P.S.
I'd to verify my new email address twice.

First there came an automatic email where I had to click a link.
From: Novell Account <webmaster@novell.com>
Subject: Customer Center Profile Update - Verification Required

Then, when opening https://bugzilla.opensuse.org I was redirected here:

https://secure-www.novell.com/selfreg/jsp/protected/validateEmail.jsp

There I'd to request another verification code. So I got another email:
From: Novell Account <webmaster@novell.com>
Subject: Novell Login Success
In that email was a code I'd to enter on that website.

P.S.

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org keeps redirecting me to a message, saying:


Please confirm that your email address is valid by clicking here[1] and following the instructions. If you have already done so, please log out[2] and log back in.

[1] https://secure-www.novell.com/selfreg/jsp/protected/validateEmail.jsp
[2] https://esp.novell.com/AGLogout


After some tries (logout, logging back in, entering verification code) it looks like now I can finally use bugzilla.opensuse.org again.

Currently, the link to change your profile is located on the help page (which can be accessed from the home page or the announcement message that is currently displayed. 

I will be including the proper method to change email address in the 'Account Information' tab in an upcoming Bugzilla update.

Combining this bug with the similar bug 905822 (same fix will resolve both issues)
