Re: [rant?] g++ bug (missing uninitialized warning), bug reporting, bug searching
A good reason, stopping spammers - but why not allow a generic (e.g.
Google/Facebook/StackOverflow)/OpenID login? As the original poster of

passwords) only for posting one bug.
Also, CAPTCHAs might be an option - or changing to a bug tracking
system without the pitfalls of Bugzilla.
best,
