I think that it is vital that the person submitting the bug does log in, and has a verified email address. My reason for this is in the answer to the following question from the developer: - 1) I think I have fixed the bug, can you please try this patch and tell me if it works. Now, if the person who reported the bug just logged the bug report anonymously, the developer might never know if they have fixed the problem or not, so the developer is probably unlikely to try to fix it in the first place.
