But is that such an imperative > that we would want to pay a price for it? I am skeptical. I think the idea is that most people nowadays have some kind of account already -- either in gmail, or in facebook, or in one of the other services that GitLab is capable of using instead of a GitLab specific registration. So for those people who have one of these accounts, registration is not an issue, and there's no real price to pay. Importing past bugs is another matter: here we would like it to be possible to have the person who originally reported an issue to be included in the email notifications if someone posts comments to the bug report.
