trac ticket spam

[Krzysztof Skrzętnicki]

On page: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReportABug

<http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReportABug>There is a certain
paragraph which says:

To report a bug, either:

   - Preferred:
      - register <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/register> an account
      on this Trac
      - Create a new
bug<http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/newticket?type=bug>,
      and enter your bug report. You can also search the bug database here
      to make sure your bug hasn't already been reported (if it has, it might
      still help to add information from your experience to the
existing report).
   - Less preferred:
      - *To submit an anonymous bug: use login "guest", password "guest"*
      - *Bug reports can also be emailed to <glasgow-haskell-bugs@…>.*
      -


Perhaps one of these ways is being exploited?

Best regards,
Krzysztof Skrzętnicki
