In my humble opinion this sounds like a very, very bad idea. I could
rant on, but Ryan Jaeb has described it well and I completely agree with
him.
Undoubtly, if you go ahead with this, there will be a lot less bug
reports. You are basically alienating the community.
And it's not just about bugs. If you have to be an author in order to
comment, this kind of discourse:
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-12643 will be a thing of the past.
