Alan I'm still struggling to understand how this mechanism would work. And why it wouldn't be spam'ed? Surely you'd need to provide something to log a ticket that stopped someone scripting a spam attack against the address or the form? I personally don't know any projects (happy to be corrected) that do this ... all the ones I regularly interact with - Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora/RH, Redmine, anything on GitHub, Get Satisfaction, etc require a login. As indicated we support OpenID to help lower this barrier (although not on the Forge yet) and we're looking at extending Redmine to allow updates via email.
