So, a disposable address to use the bugtracker for Mozilla and the same
every other project that I get in contact with? Not reasonable.

(Loginitis is part of the reason why I'm not happy with Bugzilla's spread.
Why not cache the results instead of requiring logins? Is a DoS acceptable
as long as the attacker logged in?)

If my estimate is wrong, give the data that shows that single-platform
Mozilla bugs are actually fixed very quickly instead of only attacking
the formation of the estimate.
