Jup. So the hurdle to file something is even higher. Not only do you
need just-another-account-somewhere, you also need to be "known" and
"trusted".

People suggested that when people are allowed to file whatever RFEs
they like, those become too many. People said that there is a rollback
mechanism to counter that. I ask who decides what gets rolled back.

We're not talking about wiping spam, but editorial work. In the form
it is now is just one page with a long list of ideas.

So, what is now the advantage of just-another-wiki compared to a
full-blown request/bug tracking system, which outweights all the
advantages of that?
