Hi,

I've been thinking about the bugzilla transparent sign in / sign up. I acknowledge this is an important factor to hide the complexity.
However, I've been unable to think of a way to hide it completly. If a user is already signed in and/or already has an account, hidding it
does not matter much. If a user never heard of bugzilla, it is nice to save him the trouble to face the bugzilla forms. But it is not possible
to enter a bug without being authenticated and signing up requires the validation of an email. I can't think of a way to circumvent the fact
that the user will receive a mail from bugzilla and that he will need to click it from his mail reader and then set a password and then validate
the form and then proceed to the login form.

Is the mandatory mail validation a site wide policy ? Or would it be possible to relax it for the libreoffice project ?

I'm sure we can hide this mail validation using complicated proxies behind the scene. But I'd rather be sure a trivial solution does not exist.

Cheers
