What the fuck? Why does being a DD or a bug submitter mean that you must be
continually bombarded with spam, because Debian fails to take the least of
precautions or spam prevention for fear of inconveniencing a few people?
I'm getting so much spam through my debian account that I'm already
considering closing it down. We must now tolerate spammers closing bugs?
There are a lot of large projects, including the mozilla project, that
require addresses to be registered with a password just to submit a bug.
This is the model we should be moving toward. The current situation is
totally unacceptable.
