Bug reporting account requirements not clear

Post by kalle »

Hi together,
I noticed two minor issues which could be improved:
1.) It's not clear whether you need an account in order to create new bugs or comment existing bugs. And if this is the case whether you can create such an account (there should be one of a link to registration page or a hint that you need to let your accounts be created by an admin on the login page).
2.) If you comment an existing bug trac complains that there's no valid email in reporter field (though there's no reporter field on the page (only an author field)) and it's not clear what valid means (valid email or registered user), which leads to point 1.
Thanks in advance for taking care about this.

Best regards, Kalle

On the very bottom, it asks for e-mail address. That is where you need to enter your info.
If you have a forum account, that will work as well, but you need to login to forums first, then visit the ticket.

Super busy, don't expect a timely reply back.
