[Bug 47589] New: WineHQ requires email to sign up, sign in and to recover access

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47589

Bug ID: 47589
           Summary: WineHQ requires email to sign up, sign in and to
                    recover access
           Product: WineHQ.org
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: www-unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

It may be inacceptible for users living in jurisdictions with oppressive
regimes requiring all the email providers either collect the personal data
tying an account to a government-issued ID or being blocked. For example
cellphone numbers.

Now most of email providers require cellphone number validation. But not all.

Ironically the only email providers not enforcing this I know are Russian ones.

But the State Duma is preparing a law requiring all the email providers to do
that, so I expect there will be no free email providers not doing that
(probably except Riseup, but I won't use Riseup services).

So it is important to allow users contribute without having a email addreess.
For access recovery crypto protocols or a sheet of one-time passwords can be
used.

1. allow users to use either their email or their nichname as a login
2. make email field optional on signup forms
3. implement single sign-on for bugzilla
4. implement account recovery using crypto authentication using some signature
scheme

All this should be implemented in upstream bugzilla. You may want to file a bug
there.
