So, here's the solution for now, and probably for a while: 1. New account creation has been re-enabled 2. All existing accounts have been explicitly given the "editbugs" permission 3. New accounts only get the ability to file bugs, comment on bugs, and mark bugs as confirmed We intend to be very liberal with who we bless with "editbugs", but not so liberal as to incur more vandalism. Having proper vandalism fighting solutions (e.g. especially bug 363346 and probably bug 704753 in bugzilla.mozilla.org) seems like a necessary precondition to going back to the old way of doing things.
