Issue 10335

> I have registered and am submitting bugs, but I see the following
> problems with the registration interface.  (Which, I suppose,
> is why I'm writing you instead of entering the issues into the
> database.)

> 2) I have to go through the same approval process for each
> catagory of bug I want to submit.  I've already submitted
> a general windowing problem to the spreadsheet project just
> because if I didn't submit it then, it wouldn't have gotten
> submitteed.  (Oh yeah, and another gripe about not being able
> to start multiple instances of OO.  Partly they went to the
> spreadsheet project because I didn't know where to put them,
> but I didn't bother investigating either because I knew I wouldn't
> be able to submit the problem there.  I still haven't signed up
> for anything other than writer and spreadsheet.)

> (Is there a 'general' catagory where people can submit problems
> when they don't know where the problem belongs?  That might make
> for a quick triage, closing out the useless ones right away, and
> improve classification accuracy as there'd be a knowledgeable
> person sorting them out.  On the other hand it could encourage
> people to be lazy.)

> Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but the whole approval process is
> silly.  Is somebody doing a background check each time an unknown person
> requests permissions to submit bugs?  No.  So why isn't approval
> automatic?  I suppose I can understand
> wanting to blacklist somebody who's useless, requiring approval
> before they can join more projects.  But the default should be
> to make it as easy as possible for people to report problems.
> (Forcing a search of the database to prevent duplicate entries
> is another story, natch.)
