I don't see a way to get into the account details from the openSUSE
website login. For example, through the wiki you can edit your wiki
preferences, but that doesn't get you to the iChain account details.
opensuse.org uses the login information stored for www.novell.com.
You can visit www.novell.com, drop the menu down, and select "login" to
get to the account management pages. That would be the safest way to go.
Once logged in, drop the menu down and select "Edit my profile". From
there you can make changes to your account.
Now that said, I don't know if that updates your bugzilla e-mail
preference or not. I can check with our IS&T group on Tuesday next week
(Monday's a holiday in the US) unless someone else here knows the answer
to that or is willing to try it with their account. Since my account is
an employee account, changing my e-mail address might have undesirable
side effects for me (I doubt it, but I'm not 100% certain), so I'd rather
not risk that.
I do know that you can change your e-mail address for the novell.com
website, and that there are systems that that data is pushed to, but
whether bugzilla is in that list or not is something I don't know.

So when you want to log to bugzilla look for Manage Acount link.
OpenSUSE wiki login offers Manage Account, while bugzilla login has it
hidden under Create Account (probably, I didn't actually log in to
check), or use Forgot All link that will give you page where you can
see Edit My Profile link.
Here is Manage Account link:

I don't know how the heck that links changes to a Novell link, but it
does. I'm in paranoid mode, so I'll think it is a "phising" page that
emulates Novell page, somehow.
That page is a legitimate page, however the URL is apparently not
constructed properly and that results in the phishing attempt message
that iChain returns.
