My experience is that most commercial users do not bother with logging
into Bhodi or even know it exists.
Another problem is that EPEL doesn't /yet/ use bhodi, so it has a
different workflow -- meaning EPEL-testing doesn't really test anything,
it means "rolls every 30-40 days", and that's about it.
So testing has to happen manually, Fedora is the minority use case.
Having a way to vote/comment without FAS would probably be enormously
helpful in getting more users to use the system, once EPEL uses the same
system.
You haven't needed a FAS account to leave a comment in bodhi for a long
time... possibly from the get-go. Look at a potential update in bodhi
without logging in. There's an add comment link that asks you for an
email address, comment, and a captcha to fill in. (Although I have
found in testing just now that anonymous commenting is currently
broken... have to find out from lmacken what's going on there.)
