And actually, forum users also have to create an account - that same account is used for access to bugzilla - so in some ways, the forum users are one step further along in that process because they already have the account to create bugs.
That's perfect - there really should not be anything preventing an ml-fora bi-gating then.
You lost me here - I'm not sure how the login requirement for the forums relates to this. Can you clarify what you mean?
In my experience, the one thing that (sometimes/often) prevents such a bi-gating of fora<>ml is the requirement that a forum poster be subscribed to the mailing list. However, when opensuse forum members are required to be registered for access to bugzilla, those registered could simply be allowed access by default, i.e. without having to actively subscribe. It would take a little fiddling, but nothing major.
Per, Not sure what your saying still. If it is that all users with a novell account can access the forums and post, I think that is already the case. I know I have on very rare occasion stumbled across a thread and participated. I don't think I had to do anything special to make that happen. (But I did have to monitor that thread for a while. Or maybe I subscribed to the thread. I don't recall and its been too long.)
