With increasing frequency over the past several weeks I have been getting notices bugs.squeak.org account creations that don't really appear to be real users. Rarely is anything ever actually done with the accounts and in fact it appears that most of the time they are quickly removed presumably by the software/person creating them (or maybe someone else in the community is just getting there faster than me?)
In any case, unless I'm mistaken the use of bugs.squeak.org to report and organize issues is now deprecated. Yes? No?
If so then I really think that bugs.squeak.org should be closed. At least new account creation should be closed. The next step, if possible would be to disable all issue editing.
I'm willing to look into this but I believe I would need shell level access to the host and probably to the the SQL server.

P.S. In the past the box-admins list (and others) was setup so that if the sender was subscribed to squeak-dev then the message would be accepted to the list. It appears that this feature did not make it to the new host. Not a big deal but I thought I would mention it.
