I don't understand why so many is so dismissive here. All I wanted to do is help
you with GCC for VAX and I'm getting back a lot of criticism because of something
that could be avoided by just using Github or Google for authentication.

Please don't forget that the ultimate goal is to save and update the VAX backend
so that NetBSD/VAX can continue to use modern versions of GCC. It would be a pity
if this effort would fail in the end for unrelated reasons.

I fully agree that the performance of the Bountysource website sucks. But it's
currently the only crowd-funding website that's known to work well and trustable.
