Then give me alternatives. :)

A subthread here mentions Fedora (why should I create a account just in
Fedora for this? But than can be done in emergency) and launchpad
(no way. ever. will never get myself a launchpad account.)

Some other posts back in time mentions facebook (no, I don't have a facebook
account and will not have. A bit less strict than launchpad, but still...)

Publishing a list of people who refuse to have accounts on FB or LP is not
going to help. The shame is on LO not having alternatives other than those
two.

Regards,

Rene
