Let's get this totally straight. Whatever you logged into was not the
BTS. No account needs to be set up to report a bug. You can rant as much
as you want, but whatever you did is now unknown and it is extremely
doubtful you can supply details.

And, to make it clear - the BTS is open to anyone without setting up an
account. Please do not downplay the importance of this when it comes to
user involvement. Chicken and eggs have nothing to do with it; your
vague, FUDDY stuff does a disservice to yourself and Debian.

What account?

Totally irrelevant.

Nothing on the Debian side needs to be fixed. We have tried to fix users
but some are unfixable. :)
