Victor, thanks for the pointer.  I hadn't seen AnonyMantis before this.

It looks similar to the old Anonymous Reports(1) except AnonyMantis is 
abstracted a lot further away from Mantis itself.

I guess with how detached AnonyMantis is from Mantis (using MC soap 
interface), it'd be nice to finish off that isolation and maintain the 
anonymous reports and admin approval separate from the main Mantis 
implementation as well.  Otherwise, AnonyMantis seems like a whole lot 
of overhead for providing a custom anonymous reporting front end 
directly into a Mantis project.

Hopefully I can contribute something back if I can come up with a 
functional solution based on AnonyMantis or other.
