[Solved] Registering for Bugzilla issue submission

[Som30ne]

Hi there all.

I tried reporting some issues with AOO.
Trying to register a user for the issue tracker, lead me to a page specifying that users cannot self-register,
and only admin is now allowed to create accounts.
It has been almost 2 months since I applied for an account that will allow me to log into the issue tracker,
but still, no reply and no sign of life from the admin.

To spare some harsh words . . . .
how can this be taken to the next step ?

Thanks

Try again.

To be honest, I think you are wasting your time as AOO is walking dead. AOO development and bug fixing has virtually ceased whereas LibreOffice remains under continuous development.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Trying to register a user for the issue tracker, lead me to a page specifying that users cannot self-register,

Maybe this link will help. The page is difficult to find. It took me about 45 minutes.
ASF Bugzilla – Create a new ASF Bugzilla account

How can this be taken to the next step ?

No one here can help you if the Bugzilla administrator doesn't create an account for you. As John_Ha has noted, there is little chance of getting issues fixed unless they completely break the product. Perhaps they've decided to only let develpers create issues since they are the ones who can fix them. I do not know that — just guessing at a possibility.

This is a user-to-user forum. I am an OpenOffice user just like you are. Just like everyone else here. Developers don't look at this forum. Bugzilla administrators don't look at this forum. The Apache Software Foundation management team does not look at this forum. We may be able to point you in the right direction, as I've tried to do above. Disclaimer: I haven't tried to follow the steps in that link myself since I don't need a Bugzilla account. Perhaps someone in Project Management can help you.

… no sign of life from the admin.

Perhaps the administrator has COVID-19 and is on a ventilator. I do not know that — just guessing at a possibility.

To spare some harsh words …

Harsh words here only reduce the possibility that someone will reply. Polite is always the way to go when asking for help, here or elsewhere. I am sorry that I cannot be of further assistance.

If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit button and add [Solved] to the start of the subject field. Select the green checkmark icon at the same time.

New registrations on the Bugzilla site were suspended a few months ago due to an epidemic of spam. I don't know whether registration has been re-opened, but you could subscribe to the Development Mailing List and request access to Bugzilla there.
