[12:14] <uwe> I like to report a bug but I dont like to create an account first. How to do?
[12:14] <cjwatson> You can't, I'm afraid, at least not on Launchpad.
[12:15] <cjwatson> You could try to find a direct contact for some appropriate developer, but lots of people don't like getting bug reports that aren't in a bug tracker because then it's more effort for them to keep track of.
[12:16] <cjwatson> Or perhaps you have a friend with the same problem who could proxy the report for you.
[12:16] <uwe> Currently I am really pissed of. Everytime I like to help I found gated communitys.
[12:17] <cjwatson> Needing to create an account is very different from "gated".
[12:18] <cjwatson> Not many gated communities with >4 million members
[12:20] <uwe> I be very carefull with my data and create an seperate e-mail account for every community. So this is hard work for me to create an new account. Why nobody like to understand this?
[12:20] <cjwatson> I'm sorry, but Launchpad isn't going to change in this regard
[12:22] <rbasak> Most bug trackers in our ecosystem require a confirmed email address which requires registration.
[12:22] <cjwatson> There are a number of practical reasons why this is common practice in just about anything written in the last couple of decades: spam mitigation is one of them
[12:22] <rbasak> Yeah I was about to say spam.
[12:23] <tsimonq2> ^
[12:23] <rbasak> It's a choice. Either require contributors to spend a tiny bit of effort to massively reduce spam volumes, or require project volunteers to be human spam filters.
[12:23] <rbasak> Bug trackers would be far less effectively if they were full of spam.
[12:23] <cjwatson> (they've left)
[12:24] <rbasak> Oh.
[15:12]  * rbasak has been getting a timeout for a few minutes trying to post a bug comment to bug 1764314. He'll try again later.
[17:44] <cpaelzer> rbasak: comment?
[17:45] <cpaelzer> I see it arrived, so let me read it ...
