The main issue with implicit creation of accounts is that the presence of a Launchpad account allows us to decide whether or not we can email the person. If a person reports a bug or asks a question but never completes their account registration, questions will never get back to them. I think lazy creation of accounts (and delayed creation of bugs or answers linked to that) is definitely a valuable feature, but there needs to be some work done on specifying how exactly it would pan out. elp.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Christian Robottom Reis | [+55 16] 3376 0125 | http://launchpad.net/~kiko | [+55 16] 9112 6430 | http://async.com.br/~kiko _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
