Either we are miscommunicating or I am totally flabbergsted.
Jami is an ordinary application, right? Does it run as superuser?
If not, how can it create a server on your machine that someone
else cna contact? Your machine may not have any hostname,
and if it does have one, Jami is not supposed to tell anyone what it is.
I have run Jami on my laptop and it has no DNS hostname. You can't
connect to my laptop _at all_, and if it were running a git server,
there would be no URL for it.

Unfortunately, that answer doesn't really respond to the question I had in mind.

We want anyone to be able to send a patch, just as anyone can report a bug.
OTOH, account creation for

It is unacceptable to require people to make an account to send a bug report.
Many free software packages do this, so I don't send them bug reports.
