It's also quite hard to file a bug. I did just that the other day, didn't want to make an account tried to use my github account, failed at that eventually did make an account. It's a pretty annoying bar to have to create an account with some system just to report a bug (which one should be able to do even anonymously). I understand you're trying your very best and work extremely hard but these little details all taken together add up to a fragmented and inconsistent picture which is something I really find a pity because Mozilla is an absolutely excellent product from a group of extremely capable people.

Really sorry about that -- there was a snag in the case when someone has multiple github emails and no bugzilla account.
It was fixed by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1223590 and that should be going live this week (last weak was a rarity, no code push).

As far as I know, people working on bugzilla have github based login on their radar. Don't ask me for a roadmap though, but people hanging out in #bmo on irc.mozilla.org should be able to fill in details.
Fully anonymous login is an open door to way more spam that we want to handle ;)

The github based login is there but it just doesn't work. I figured it would be a bit meta to file a bug for a bugracker...

It breaks in the case someone has multiple email addresses associated with their github account. That bug was fixed and will be out soon. :-)

Ah, that is exactly the case, I have one for 'business' and one for 'private' stuff. Thank you for the clarification, it was quite a confusing situation because you ended up in an endless merry-go-round.
