You want an example? Any bug that was reported by someone who didn't
login can not be traced back. F.e.
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=11652 . How are we
going to get in touch with the submitter if we need more info when we
don't have an email address (or the user is auto-CCed)?

Note that you don't need to be a developer to have a Savannah account. I
had a Savannah account long before I officially became a developer.

I can't speak about bugzilla's in general, but for f.e. Red Hat/Fedora
bugzilla you first need to subscribe before you can post bugs. I think
this is sensible. It's not like you have to submit all kind of personal
details, just a valid email address and a password.

Leonard.
