I have not seen a copy of such NDAs myself. Where did you see that Bugzilla admins have to sign an NDA?
As far as I know the relevant issue is that anyone who has access to private personal information of users needs to sign an agreement that they will not share that information.
Whatever people are signing, it makes sense for the agreements themselves to be public.

I think it's necessary for the Foundation to both provide a copy and explain the necessity of the NDA for transparency and legal/ethical reasons, especially if they are asking volunteers to sign them.
Hmm, not just asking, but apparently requiring certain volunteers to sign them. It's unclear which volunteers are and are not exempt from this requirement. For example, it seems that Bugzilla administrators are now required to have signed an NDA, but OTRS volunteers and wiki administrators are not. Wikimedia stewards... it's unclear, as it is for many other user volunteer groups (people with access to rt.wikimedia.org, shell users, et al.).
I suppose we should begin to expand the page on Meta-Wiki. Cunningham's Law will kick in, as necessary.
