You can ask about account issues on the Website mailing list: 
website at global.libreoffice.org

If there is a bug on our infrastructure, you can open a report on 
Redmine: https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/

You can open an enhancement request to improve the UI:

Similar enhancement requests already exist, the preferred solution 
likely being implementing Chart styles. Please feel free to comment on 
those. See for example:

  * allow setting more defaults than just colours:
    https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62860
  * allow multi-selection of chart objects to change them at once:
    https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62860
  * chart style implementation / support:
      o https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62925
      o https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93597
  * once chart styles are available, spreadsheet themes could make use
    of them. See:
    https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48733#c11
  * we also have a wiki page on the topic of chart styles:
    https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Chart_styles

I hope that helps.
