It's also lots of work to make free and open source projects, which is why i say good bug reports are a valuable type of contribution. It is a type of contribution. Imo setting up a free account is the least thing someone can do if they use the project.

And anyone who cares about privacy can use junk data and one time email (this should just be standard practice for anyone that cares and why i didn't mention it). 2fa is a small issue too IMO.

I don't particularly care for github either but if a project is on github then that's how the maintainers are expecting contributions--if you want to help in some way, or want your bug fixed, then you'll need an account or try contacting them in other way.
