Ah. Bad. I have no account there and I dislike the idea to create a
account anywhere to just report a bug. I have that many accounts sprayed
around the net that I do not want to manage one more, sorry.
That's kind of a crappy approach don't you think?
Do you really think so?
Have you ever dealt with a bug reporter that accepts anonymous bug reports?
Do you know debian? Do you know /usr/bin/reportbug? Do you know RT?
There are many bug tracker out there where reporting by e-mail is the
usual way.
It's almost impossible to treat such reports seriously as you're often not
quite sure whether you've fixed the issue or not because you can't get in
contact with the original reporter.
With bug reports by e-mail this is normally not anonymous. Also usual
you can get in contact with the reporter.
More over, you do not need to go to any web page, you even need no web
browser. You can write comfortable with your preferred mail reader and
editor.
There are many bugs out there. Sometimes they can be reported by the
distribution bug tracker but if you install software directly or know
that the bug is upstream it is of no use to have a maintainer between.
And if you need to register with your shoe size (attention, I do
exaggerate) often at least I let the bug be and might fix it locally so
the software will not get better. This registration stuff for all is
such a broken concept at all! Also mailing lists is not the best form of
communication but it is ok that far as I can configure it in my mail
reader to sort it in a nice way. (Ever use nntp? This concept is much
better than Foren and mailing lists!)
However, I will not create a user account on this site too. Take the bug
report I gave here or let it be. If you are not interested in the
report, well, that's yours. If you are interested, I stay here or by PM
to answer questions or doing debugging. (And you might notice that I am
not anonymous, I even sign my mails.)
Regards
Klaus

Regardless of your intentions, etc, this is somewhat insulting IMO to an
open-source/foss project. It's almost like saying "Well I appreciate the
thousands of lines of code you've given me for free, and the man-hours
it took to write that code, and the man-hours you've saved me, but I'm
not willing to give you five minutes to create a log in to your bug
tracker." Just sayin'. If you really can't be bothered feel free to hop
on IRC, I will file the bug for you.
