I don't think I want an anonymous user to be able to create bugs. Maybe what I'm after is an automatic user creation based on the given email address, but the user won't be able to log in before verifying the email. If a user already exists for the given email address, that bug also belongs to that existing user even though no password was asked (but it could mention that it was created anonymously and log the IP).
But that's how most othe rregstration systems work too. All bugzilla/mailman etc. typically want is to verify the autheticity of the given email address.
But why? If all you're doing is just adding a new bug, what's the point of verifying the email address? It's just annoying to the user.
Don't you want feedback? Therefore an email address should be mandatory. And if you don't verify it then you either have bogus emails or Joe jobs.
You can't have the whole pie and the dog fed (old greek saying ;)
