Just like when registering.
Configure Trac to force people to be registered before posting is quickly done. The question is if we really want to do that? There is an advantage in being able to submit bugreports without first going through a registration process. But then on the other hand, it really helps to know the email of the reporter to be able to ask for more information if needed. But email is currently not required when registering a new account. Should we require that as well? With that said, I wouldn't have a problem with not accepting anonymous comments. But what do the rest of you think? // Erik (And yes, spam filters are already in place.
