Understandable. IMHO a certain "seriousness threshold" to reduce the noise

I was thinking on a score system such as the one at StackOverflow, but I'm not aware of any support of Atlassian.

What if you at least had a policy where someone in your team
can propose people they know from the mailing list for a while for
accounts? I don't think what's needed is to have a completely open system
with one-click self-registration but don't draw the line where you draw it
now, which means you're missing qualified input from people who are ready
to invest qualified time (e.g. to build test cases and good descriptions of
issues) but do not submit patches.

I would add that having a corporate collective account could probably help. I'm thinking of a case in which there are a couple of dozen developers from the same corporate that could share the same email alias. Even in this case self-subscribing wouldn't be needed, actually it might make sense to have a control process to be sure that the corporate account is official, I mean the corporate is in charge for it.
