Ah, is that the reason why I had so many issues with it lately? Could bugzilla maybe allow email verified submissions without an account? So you report a bug with your email address and have to click verify in an email response to get it to a state people will look at it. That would eliminate the whole "oh no, one more account/password" hassle, but reduce spam and lack of working back channels. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
