hackage trac does not seem to have a "register" option (compare hackage trac with ghc trac). individual logins are nice because:
- gives individual rather than anonymous reporters
- one place less to support spam email harvesters (account name instead of full email address)
- "register" is always there, hence easy to find, unlike the hint hidden on the trac home page that hackage is still abusing the haskell' trac.. (might lower the barrier to file report/suggestion tickets)
Duncan comments:
We used to have that and got horribly spammed. Apparently for the ghc trac they've worked out how to do that without getting spammed so presumably we could do the same.
