This will change the default Bugzilla email notification for bugs in the "Security-Sensitive Core Bug" group to simply sending mail saying that a bug has changed with no details except for a link to the bug.

For members of the "Security-Sensitive Core Bug" group, you will _not_ be able to reset your password through email without uploading an encryption key. Password resets will only be available by contacting bugzilla-admin@mozilla.org. This is to keep password reset urls for sensitive accounts from being sent as a cleartext.
