--- Comment #19 from Quim Gil <q...@wikimedia.org> ---
There is an (imho) important factor to consider: Bugzilla has the same scope
than Gerrit (and hence the wikitech.w.o login): MediaWiki Core + Extensions +
some Wikimedia specific stuff. 

Consequences:

* It is good for Wikipedia users to understand that when they are filing a bug
report o feature request here, most probably it relates to and depends on other
technical factors beyond his/her specific Wikimedia project.

* It is also good not to "force" a Wikipedia login to the non-Wikimedia users
and sysadmins reporting MediaWiki problems and feature requests here, since
this is also their place. And we suffer from enough Wikimedia-centrism already
in this open source project. (as a reminder, these users are currently
wondering why they need a mediawiki.org login, a different one for
Gerrit/wikitech.m.o and another one for Bugzilla).

As a side effect, being Bugzilla next to Gerrit does minimize the problem of
having public email addresses, since this is just normal for anybody
contributing patches, as opposed to wiki editors who never have to disclose
publicly this information.
