Duno. If you can, please file a bug and let us know :) > Could bugzilla maybe allow email verified submissions without an account?= So you report a bug with your email address and have to click verify in an= email response to get it to a state people will look at it. That would eli= minate the whole "oh no, one more account/password" hassle, but reduce spam= and lack of working back channels. See above: =3D=3D=3D To preempt the next question: why don't we allow users to submit via email but verify with a token? That system isn't possible with how the gateway is set up now. Its a long term possability. If someone wants to help set that up please contact me offline (at bugmeister@). =3D=3D=3D --=20 Eitan Adler
