It was definitely the process of creating an account, the developer was

Does the crash report dialog offer the option of creating an account? Does it
store the password so that it can be automatically retrieved for further
reports or when interacting with the web interface in a browser?
It doesn't at the moment. It only offers a link to open
https://bugs.kde.org/createaccount.cgi in web browser, which asks users
to offer one email address and sends the confirmation mail to that email
address.
Bugzilla does provide the web service API for creating new account, but
in effect it does not make difference. It asks for one email address and
sends the confirmation mail , too. It is doable, but I don't see
real advantage.
My understanding of how bugzilla works is that it sends emails to people
registered for a certain bug, so an email address would be sufficient, no?
I think bugzilla only cares about email addresses it has already
verified (meaning registered accounts). It doesn't care about random
email addresses.
