WTF is wrong with the PEAR site forcing me to register to submit a bug, yet doesn't provide any way to!?

I wanted to submit a bug that the Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.9.1 is still broken.

MANUAL CONFIRMATION IS NOT POSSIBLE.  Write a message to pear-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

to request the confirmation link.  All bugs/comments/patches associated with this

So I add a comment and it sends me a confirmation email.
http://pear.php.net/account-request-confirm.php?salt=e7e9fc9479727464e3191129f300960a
<http://pear.php.net/account-request-confirm.php?salt=e7e9fc9479727464e3191129f300960a&type=bug> &type=bug
I click it.
Then it asks me some username/password info. but I'm not registered, so it fails.
https://pear.php.net/account-request-confirm.php
Then I try to register: 
https://pear.php.net/account-request.php
and unless I'm a complete idiot, I don't see a link that says, "NEW ACCOUNT" or anything like that!?
 
There are account creating links for everything else though:
https://pear.php.net/account-request-newpackage.php
https://pear.php.net/account-request-existingpackage.php
https://pear.php.net/account-request-vote.php
but the one that is what I need has no account creation page:
https://pear.php.net/bugs/
 
So how the F*&$#^% do I register to submit a comment for a PEAR package that has been broken for months and nobody is fixing for
over a year and makes the entire package unuseable!
 
BTW, here is what I tried to add to the bug:
 
Seriously there is no solution to this yet? I'm copying and pasting the example from
<http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.fileformats.spreadsheet-excel-writer.intro.php>
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.fileformats.spreadsheet-excel-writer.intro.php and it doesn't work. 
 
The other error I keep getting is:
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Call to undefined method stdClass::close() in
<b>/lockdown/includes/pear/Spreadsheet/Excel/Writer/Workbook.php</b> on line <b>510</b><br />
