[Bug web/30584] New: bugzilla: cannot add comments

["Martin dot vGagern at gmx dot net" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I tried to add a comment to my bug #28686. Being a common user, I could not
modify the asignee, that was static text only no entry field. When I comitted
my addition, I was asked for my password, and then told:

You tried to change the Assignee field from unassigned@gcc.gnu.org to
__UNKNOWN__, but only the assignee of the bug, or a sufficiently empowered user
may change that field.

This effectively prevents me from adding comments to the bug report.

Another thing that might be related: When I log in on the home page or through
the "Log In" link on any report I get to the home page, and my status is logged
in. When I jump from the home page to a specific bug, by entering its number in
the form and clicking "Find" or by directly entering its URL, my status is back
to not logged in, as I have the "Log In" link in my footer.

It would be useful to have this bugzill as a Product as well. gcc is definitely
not what this is really about, but I found no better alternative.
