Req #14816 [Opn->Wfx]: providing a password for every bug report shouldn't be necessary

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=14816&edit=1 ID: 14816 Updated by: sobak@php.net Reported by: jimw at apache dot org Summary: providing a password for every bug report shouldn't be necessary -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Website problem Operating System: * PHP Version: * Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Sorry, but we currently do not plan adding account for bug reporters. It would require too much work: dealing with spam requests, more data to protect, introducing new user level next to developers etc... It might change in the future, but I doubt that it will happen soon.
