If you can, please file a bug and let us know :) Will test later from my home line... >=20 >=20 >> 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 e= mail response to get it to a state people will look at it. That would elimin= ate the whole "oh no, one more account/password" hassle, but reduce spam and= lack of working back channels. >=20 > See above: >=20 > =3D=3D=3D > To preempt the next question: why don't we allow users to submit via > email but verify with a token?

This could be done using the old web form on freebsd.org and using a= n email verification loop that holds submissions outside of bugzilla until t= he verification link has been clicked. I don't know any details of the curre= nt setup, but I would assume this is quite doable. >=20 > --=20 > Eitan Adler > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
