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 ema= il response to get it to a state people will look at it. That would eliminat= e the whole "oh no, one more account/password" hassle, but reduce spam and l= ack of working back channels.=
