But providing a valid email should be enough for all

But how will you know, if it is a valid mail address? It could be
an one-way mail address or some fake address ... :( Remember all
the HowTos and documentation, which uses "example.com" address as
an example ... ;)
Emails can be validated (in the same way your email client
immediately informs you that an address is not valid: it checks
with the target mail server)
really? I seem to remember, that I have heard/read somewhere, that
it is not that difficult to configure your MUA to fool the receiver
with a different mail address ... ;) But I am not sure, where it was
or how has told it ... :( But I remember a friend of mine, who
changed his MUA that way, that it seems to be a mail of a celebrity,
although it was only him ... ;)
I have always learned to turn that feature off. So you can't verify a
mail-address against the mailserver I maintained. I don't think I'm the
only one as that is a way to fight spam. So they can't file bugs anymore?
In any case if the user bothers to create an email account just to
post a bug report, then he *really* wants to report the bug but he
doesn't to be contacted!
O.K.
I have yet to see a valid other way, and somebody to implement such
feature. I think we should at least make the registration-requirement
later in the process but even that I haven't implemented yet due to time
shortage/other features to implement.
