For FreeBSD 11, we'd like to have an HTTP-based send-pr replacement, which will not be able to enforce a valid email address, but which will at least request one. Although, again, we'll have to be careful to prevent it from being used as a spam tool (send a pr claiming to be from a different email address with a spam message and that person gets notified) and so it will likely add the bug to a private queue where it can be checked for spam before appearing in the main db. Volunteers to be spam filters welcome... I think a bunch of this can be solved by using oauth or something like it. aka: login via github or facebook/twitter. -Alfred
