That does happen, and it would be nice to make it as easy as possible. 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. Right. Note that the bugzilla account also requires an email. Further communication with the submitter then occurs through this email (more info, status, etc). This avoids the need for the submitter to include contact information in the bug report. You would need to set up a dummy email or redirect the anonymous bug reports to a mailing list. You might have to deal with hit and runs (i.e. submissions, with submitters never checking the report/list again). This was a significant disadvantage to anonymous submissions. Perhaps you manage by incorporating both in the bug handling business: - a bugzilla with accounts for those who are motivated, and will follow up with testing of patches etc.. - a mailing list to report bugs on for those who don't want to take the trouble to login (a mailing list that allowed non-submitter posts). You then have the option of having someone enter that report in the bug database if desired.. This could be xen-devel, for that matter. thanks, Nivedita _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
