I have come up with bug reports for various projects only to find out that I'd need YET ANOTHER FRIGGING PASSWORD just to send them my bug report. In the end, the report was not send, as yes, I cannot be bothered to create another account that I'll use essentially for sending an email. I'm surely not the only one avoiding even more accounts and password. At the very least think about implementing OAuth/OpenID or whatever it's called this days. A mood point for me, as I'll need a full account, but the Project should not make reporting bugs harder than it is already ... have you considered using reCATPCHA or something to fend of at least some of the spam? Cheers and thanks for the migration!! Uli
