I think a login should always be required. If anonymous karma counts, then some
long-term contributors may start depending on that and never create an account.
If someone then starts DOS'ing Bodhi and forces anonymous karma and new login
accounts to be disabled, these contributors will have to each contact someone to
set up an account so they can carry on, which will waste everyone's time and
cause a delay in getting packages pushed. If the same thing happens with login
required, then only new accounts have to be disabled and existing users are
unaffected. Besides, a lot of anonymous karma probably comes from people who
don't know that it doesn't count, and would create an account if they did.
Requiring a login would generate at least some additional usable karma for that
reason - maybe not as much as allowing anonymous karma to count, but without
making Bodhi vulnerable.
