Hello,
I found a bug: "source" points to the wrong page. [1]
I know that bugs should be reported via Github. But I don't have an account and don't want to create one. There might be others who don't want to use Github. Why rely on external bug tracker? I assume that it has been chosen because of its features, but it doesn't have the most important one (i.e. anonymous posting). What's better: to have more features or to have less bugs?
Is it possible to move away from Github? What about a separate mailing list for bugs?
Whilst in general I agree with you, people have complained previously about needing to subscribe to libraries@haskell.org for bug reports for boot libraries, or for needing to get a Trac login, etc. If, however, _no_ login is required, then the system is open to spamming :s
I'm sorry if this sounds to harsh; I'm not good at writing. I don't want to attack or blame anyone. I'm also sorry if this message is not appropriate, but I haven't found a better place.
