Several of the the team are of the strong view that requiring users to
create an account and login to submit a bug means that many bugs don't
get submitted out of laziness. 

I guess the simplest hack would just be to change the bugzilla login
dialogue such that it tells people to login with an acount called 'bug'
password 'bug' if they don't want to create a real account.

Other than this, I'm not aware of any strong preference of Trac over
Bugzilla. It would be good to hear if other people have strong views
either way.
