Hi,

If I'm a registered user of mozilla.org I can comment any FF addon.
Unfortunately, posting bugreports is pointless because "we dont share your email address to developers so author cant ask your for details".
I have to go to some another forum, make long-some-steps-registration and then posting bug report. It looks very annoying for most of people.

I think it will be possible for addon's developer to have button "Request details to my email" near every comment of his/her addon page.
Upon pressing this button server will send a such letter to comment's author:
-------------
Hi!
I'm a developer of FF-internet-optimizer plugin .
You posted comment here: URL
Please provide additional details about this issue to my email: [e-mail]
Thank you.
-------------

Pros:
- one point authorization for commenting all plugins
- easy interface
- author can request info directly

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

User reviews aren't for reporting bugs unless the author doesn't provide support contact information. You should contact them through their preferred support methods indicated.

Related to your request, we now email developers when they receive a review and email users when a developer replies.
