For example, mailing lists. We were repeatedly told in this list that the preferred way to let people know of the issue is to file a PR. Posting something to ports@ is the easiest route (for me, at least), however, I take the trouble to use the send-pr route. Registration is not the issue, it's the need to login every time and having to store yet another passwd that is frustrating. I get the spam issue, but perhaps the fact that the ability to send PRs with no extra login step is highly valued by some, deserves another thought. Anton
