That's cool but Bug Id: 9006934  is what is mentioned in the mail and
searching on that gives zero results.

Good to know that if I add "JI-" in front it will work though.

Maybe I read that page wrong but afaics I don't have any way to open or login
to this jira without being "role of Author" which involves granted right
to create changesets intended to be pushed into a projects code repo.

That is not something I actually wish to be at this stage - I just want to
help report and verify bugs I or others found that affect me.

>From my point of view anyone with a java.net account should be able to login to the jira
and 

A) Watch any issue they find

B) Be able to report bugs in the JI project (that seems to be what the other web report system do?)

C) Comment on bugs they have reported 

Then no need to document complex workflows since it would "just work".

And since that kind of user is not able to report bugs elsewhere you shouldn't be seeing any increase
in bogus reports/comments - you might see an increase in bugs reported since it now is easier (But thats
a good thing :)

Just my 2c.
