I personally see this as an argument in favour of moving to github issues.
I think the current process of requiring users to register for an *osgeo
site* account to file a bug on the *QGIS site* is confusing for many users.
I suspect we lose a lot of reports just because this convoluted sign
up/login process makes it too much work for many.

But over at github registration is much more modern, streamlined and user
friendly. And it's much easier to understand that you need a *github*
account to post on *github*.
