FWIW I'm less inclined to report a problem if I have to register somewhere or join something to do so. I suppose that might be jerky of me, I dunno. One can always ignore reports that can't be understood or followed up on; but conversely, one can't act on reports that one never receives.
I honestly have no idea why some individuals desire such an extreme level of anonymity. The bug-tracker can be configured to keep the reporters information hidden from other bug-reporters.
In any case, a user who declines to supply his/her contact information obviously has no expectations of being contacted for further information regarding their complaint and therefore should not expect their alleged bug to be worked on in a speedy if eventual manner.
