If this is mandatory then the trick I suggested does not work. Thanks for clarifying this.

If you click the ► on the BugReoprt_Details page, a link with several information to an URL like <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice;component=Chart;short_desc=UI:%20;bug_status=UNCONFIRMED;version=?> will be proceeded and Bugzilla opens in the browser. If the potential reporter is already logged in to bugzilla, he can "Submit" (and will be asked for a valid Version), If not he will have to go the detour over the login page.
The problem that Michael Meeks is concerned about, if I understand correctly, is that the detour is complex enough to be a significant discouragement to someone who reports a bug for the first time. There are at least 5 steps where there should be at most one (i.e. entering the mail ).

No, I don't think so. Filling the fields is simple enough.

Yes.

I don't and I'm sorry if I lead you to think I did. My only concern for now is about the authentication of the user.
