I personally have a problem with that (maybe it's just the cranky

* If a bug isn't worth a few minutes of your time to create a bugzilla

weeds out frivolous reports. Easier bug reporting is nice, but not at
the expense of receiving *good* bug reports.
Not sure if I agree with this assertion. It might not be worth your
time because it's currently high cost to process it. If you can make it
easy for them and useful to you because it contributes to an overall
image of what's going on (adding to a data set) then it's definitely
worth it. Right now all we have is bugzilla, and it's the window that
we're looking through. Of course, everything seems expensive through
that haze. :)
* Without a bugzilla account, there is no mechanism for further
correspondence/feedback between reporter and developers. I think this
is important too.
Maybe yes, maybe no. I would respond and say that getting the data is
still a net plus (assuming my caveats above) and that if we can't get
the contact information it's still worth it to at least get the data.
Maybe it's as simple as just asking for an email address, and that's it.
I would say that for most casual users a bugzilla account is waaay too
much overhead. And we're missing valuable data as a result.
