Hi. Anonymous bug reports would be more or less useless, unless you are thinking about implementing crash platforms like https://crash-stats.mozilla.com where anonymous reports are processed and users can check current status of their reports along with assigned bug numbers (about:crashes in Firefox for instance). Already some bug reports need heavy QA involvement (lots of time and e-mail judo skills) to be polished and prepared for interested developers. To be honest, with a current backlog, a lot of them should be RESOLVED INVALIDated and not babysitted. I just can't imagine what would happen when we could be flooded by anonymous fillings...

But please, no more alternative bug reports channels! I would like to see all bugs in Bugzilla and not have to search for bugs scattered through dozens of MLs or wiki pages. I recently have found that some users are already lost with BSA (https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/) and Bugzilla (https://bugs.freedesktop.org). Just reviewed few incomplete, invalid, duplicate, with strange comments (a person is writing in the bug that he do not know what he has written and is writing it once again, differently, in the same, initial bug (?)). Seems people do not recognize what BSA is all about and by adding a bug there are creating Bugzilla account and adding a bug to Bugzilla itself (some do not understand that fact). I really would like to see BSA as build-in in bugs.freedesktop.org, than as a seperate product (best as this example template adapted - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice&format=guided). Please remember that already LibreOffice as a product has a lot of bug trackers out there...

But only when a good summary comment is added to original bug report in Bugzilla. In English. I would CC such people asking for help now and then.
