For what it's worth, I do not agree with requiring registration.

Debian's bug tracker and {linux-kernel,git,...}@vger.kernel.org mailing
lists are all open to the world without registration.  They're all still
usable thanks to good spam filtering.  And I'd rather deal with a small
amount of spam that does get through rather than require registration
(and we've still gotten some spam despite registration).

Just my 2 cents...
