unfortunately, our RT tracker has been flooded by a SPAM
attack that used HTTP (not mail).
We switched off opportunity to add comments as anonymous.
(we had to patch rt for this at its configuration does only allow to
switch of new bugs send by anonymous).

Another good reason to the new bug tracker.
There, it is also only allowed to comment/submit if you are
a registered user. But unlike for rt, there you can
create a user account on your own easily.
