It was definitely the process of creating an account, the developer was 
explicitly stating that providing an email address isn't the problem.

Does the crash report dialog offer the option of creating an account? Does it 
store the password so that it can be automatically retrieved for further 
reports or when interacting with the web interface in a browser?

My understanding of how bugzilla works is that it sends emails to people 
registered for a certain bug, so an email address would be sufficient, no?

Cheers,
Kevin
