That is correct. The current leaning is towards not providing such
functionality as:
- It makes spamming easy
- If someone can't be bothered to make an account, they are unlikely to provide
the feedback required to correctly diagnose the bug.
I don't know that this decision is final, but it's certainly unlikely to be
high up the priority list to implement it. For FreeBSD 11, we'd like to have
an HTTP-based send-pr replacement, which will not be able to enforce a valid
email address, but which will at least request one. Although, again, we'll
have to be careful to prevent it from being used as a spam tool (send a pr
claiming to be from a different email address with a spam message and that
person gets notified) and so it will likely add the bug to a private queue
where it can be checked for spam before appearing in the main db. Volunteers
to be spam filters welcome...
I think a bunch of this can be solved by using oauth or something like
it. aka: login via github or facebook/twitter.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Also, hell no, and good god, man, are you daft?
Requiring oauth will literally guarantee me and a whole bunch of other
people will never have bugzilla accounts.
