[SciPy-dev] Re: Scipy roundup anonymnous user behaves strangely

[Joe Cooper]

Hi Pearu,

Most things are possible...Some are easier than others.  I'll look into 
it.  It has been decreed (by Eric, I seem to recall) in the past that 
anonymous reports are welcome, so we can't turn those off, but it looks 
like it is next-to-trivial to enforce filling in certain fields.

Anyone object to forcing the user to fill in the change note every time 
an item is changed?  Note that this will require a note when you close 
the issue, or otherwise change status.  If everyone is already making a 
note when changing status, then it won't even be a noticeable change 
except for those anonymous lurkers who like to ruin your good times.
