Comment (by athomas):
The problem I see with adding new columns per username (eg.
`is_authenticated` or whatever) is that this rapidly explodes. 5 or 6
extra columns would have to be added to Trac itself, not to mention
plugins recording similar information.
I can think of at least two options that are preferable IMO:
1. Require anonymous users to enter an E-Mail address or the username
''anonymous''. Do ''not'' allow them to enter an arbitrary username. eg.
`Alec Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>` would be stored in my anonymous session.
2. Switch to a more concrete concept of identity in Trac. Form based
login + registration. This is not an uncommon model and, in fact, Roundup
looks to use it from the dabbling I've done. This would probably be a
controversial choice however, given Trac's history of openness.
