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. No, no, no, no, no, no. Also, hell no, and good god, man, are you daft? Requiring oauth will literally guarantee me and a whole bunch of other people will never have bugzilla accounts.
