[Savannah-help-public] [sr #106712] accepting follow-ups by email

[Karl Berry]

Follow-up Comment #9, sr #106712 (project administration):

Thomas -- I don't see a problem with requiring logged-in users to post or
follow up.  In fact, I think that should be the default.

There is no requirement in GNU that projects use a tracker at all, and lots
don't.  OTOH, there is a requirement that projects accept bugs through email
(although not everyone follows it, sadly enough).  So if a user wants to
submit a report without registering anywhere, they can (should be able to).

Allowing all anonymous posts would be like allowing unfiltered email.  Not
feasible ...

I have no objection to the idea of allowing anonymous posts if they are
filtered as rigorously as we do with email, but I also don't think it's
necessary, or especially beneficial, actually.
Anyone who wants to post through a tracker is going to expect to create an
account.
