Bugzilla sets a cookie on your machine so you don't have to repeatedly log in. I log in once every few months when something happens to my browser that deleted the cookies.

If you have cookies disabled, of course you'll have to log in every time. But that's the same with github, too.

I don't have cookies disabled, but it doesn't seem to work for me... I have to login every few minutes.

It auto-logs-me-out every few minutes... if I leave it open in the background while I'm working so I can easily reach for it, I find it asks me to log in again basically every time.

I also find the layout unappealing, and I find Github issues easier to navigate... but I'm not the one that has to use it daily, so I'm not really bothered by that.

The part that irks me most is that I have to have yet-another-account-on-the-internet... Does bugzilla support OpenAuth?

I don't want my topic to get lost in this though, the first few items in my weekend report are the big tickets as I see it; installation, IDE, and debugging.
