I would venture that docs bugs and certain classes of website bugs 
rarely have communications.  For example:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/86522
https://bugs.freebsd.org/163733
https://bugs.freebsd.org/182551

Those bugs would simply not have been submitted if I had to create an 
account first.

I strongly support anonymous bug reporting, but I'm not interested in a 
protracted discussion on it.  The comitters can decide if they want 
trivial bugs reported or not as they prefer.
