Perfect.
I thought the reason for local users was - get their work named or - allow them to do review (not possible on suggestions) or - save committers work as you suggest I cannot see the difference to using anonymous as we have it today ? What did I miss ?
Well, the first item is very important. The step from anonymous contributors to authenticated contributors is a big one: it enables traceability, accountability and accommodates licensing concerns; it allows to evaluate contributions from individual authors. The other improvements are very good, but I see the first one as the key.
making support for non-ldap users is no trivial task (just think of spam protection) so clearly this effort should counter weighted of other advantages.
Manual creation/activation of accounts would be fine too: it would still be a significant improvement over what we are doing now.
