So, the iLiad OS project now has some tickets open in the Dev Hub's Trac system. From what I can see, though, Trac has some serious limitations.

Specifically, I'd like to receive email about tickets I'm working on. But Trac is not username-based. You can't put your username into the cc: field and be notified. Instead, you have to put in your whole email address every time. The same goes for the submitter field.

Am I the only one who dislikes this? I would much prefer a system where I log in and then everything is done by username. I don't really want my email address sitting around in dozens of places on an unsecured website. That's like spam-fodder waiting to happen.

Am I missing something here?
