Since there is a lot of bugzilla systems today and many users take part in
development of more than one product it becomes quite a problem to have more and
more accounts. The proble is not even in the number of accounts but number of
passwords. My proposal is to use Jabber instead of e-mail for registration and
then for distribution of one time authentication tokens.

User would register in the bugzilla with her jid (and maybe e-mail too).
Everytime she would like to log in would receive a token (password, url).

Since jabber is generally much faster and much more handy than e-mail it might
be a good solution of increasing number of bugzilla passwords.

Reproducible: Always
