Frequently I've thought "sod it" and gone elsewhere when confronted by a
Yet Another login form.

Given that any change is mailed to the relevant project list, so from an 
oversight POV, making an anonymous bug entry seems no different to
editing a Wiki page.  So is there any reason we shouldn't enable 
anonymous issue posting/commenting, if projects want it?  


Alternatively, the 'Create Issue' link in JIRA can be exposed by 
commenting out the permission check in includes/decorators/bodytop.jsp.
Users clicking on 'Create Issue':

http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa

will be asked to log in, and then redirected back to the create issue
page.
