It's rather pedantic, but I wouldn't call that participating. That's more in the realm of observation.

An account has always been required for active participation, e.g. committing directly to any repo, submitting a PR, opening an issue, etc.

Yes, and I use an account for those. But I value not having to use an account for any work before that, which is just a crucial.
