Indeed.

How about removing the ability for people to post bugs withotu specifying n 
email address? And, if they do specify an email address, using that to contact 
them by sending notification mails to it?

For all I know, this happens already, but people don't perceive it as happening 
so the ythink "anonymous" bug postings will never be heard from and so close 
them straight away as "anonymous, therefor we don't care"

cheers,

Chris
