There seems to be an untold assumption that non-github-users are more likely to not reply to their own bugs. Not sure why, I may lack context. > The requirement for a GitHub account was well known when PEP 581 was > accepted. The PEP was approved. It's now time to move on! PEP 588 has been saying the exact opposite for 2 years (maybe they did not really mean it, but that's what's written). > [...] > It's all about trade-offs.

Note, however, that requiring a github account for reporting bugs is a whole different trade-off than requiring it for development. The second makes python an unwelcoming project for privacy-conscious people, but I understand that such is the price to pay for more efficient freeware tools. And it's an already made choice anyway. By contrast, requiring a github account for reporting bugs also makes python an unwelcoming place for non-developers in general. Github is a developers' social network, "mere" users are much less likely to want to be part of it. Many will just silently abandon their bug report.
