JDK Bug System requires login for search

[some-java-user-99206970363698485155 at vodafonemail.de]

Also affects the main project pages, such as 
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK

Since there has been no response so far on web-discuss, and also 
apparently no response to another feedback mail I had sent to 
java-bug-submit-form_ww_grp at oracle.com 3 weeks ago regarding the new bug 
reporting form (where feedback was explicitly requested), I am going to 
include help at openjdk.org now on CC (hopefully that is ok).

Also, another issue with the new bug reporting form 
(https://bugs.java/bugreport/):
It seems you do not get the "Update Notification: Bug Report - JDK-..." 
mail anymore which informs you about the creation of the bug report 
(unless I made a typo in my mail address when submitting the report)? I 
can see on https://bugs.openjdk.org that the report was created a few 
weeks ago already.

Sorry in case this missing communication is just due to the holiday 
season. Though web-discuss seems to be rarely looked at in general (but 
it seems to be the most appropriate mailing list for this topic).
