Can you tell me how to enter a blueprint/bugreport to [1] without a login ? Or 
to post on [2] without a login ? While I agree that login and registering is 
annoying, I do not know a single website out there that has anonymous posting 
enabled, without a moderator, or require login.

I also do not think that KOffice user are more likely to have a launchpad 
account, rather than a KDE bugzilla account (unless we consider (k)ubuntu has 
taken the whole market of linux distributions, which is far to be true). So by 
having to use launchpad, or bugzilla depending on the request would mean that 
reporter now needs two different logins.

Furthermore, I do not think the user would know if the feature he needs in his 
workflow requires a change in KOffice code, or a change in an external plugin, or 
an entirely new plugin, which means we would need to have a single place for 
user report, and a convenient way to move them around, I do not think using 
two different services help with that.
