There's been some discussion on ticket #22067<https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/22067> and #django-dev about requiring Trac login to help cut down on spam and generally improve the quality of the discussion.
Claude: I think that forcing registration would be fine. It adds a small barrier to reporting bugs, but I think it's acceptable, and many projects have already chosen to do so. me: I'm in favor of requiring registration as well. When I posed this on IRC, Aymeric mentioned: "BDFLs were very attached to the ability to report issues without creating an account." On the other hand, we've seen anonymously reported issues where we respond and don't know if the reporter will ever respond since they won't be notified of our response. There also a fair number of comments and other changes that are accidentally made anonymously which results in some extra noise. If you believe the "create an account" barrier is a problem, do you think adding something like GitHub auth to Trac would lower the barrier to an acceptable level? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
