Details:

I have to say this is a serious issue.

When filing a bug report without being logged in, and missing filling the
anti-spam number, one gets to a page that says

"You're not logged in and you didn't enter the magic anti-spam number, please
go back!"

But on going back, the whole form of the bug report is blank, i.e. the text
that the user has taken the time to write to explain the bug and how to
reproduce it etc. has been lost. A user would either just forget about trying
to file a bug (and thus the bug will stay), or at best be very angry when he
writes his text again (and thus the discussion will be difficult). In either
case, this is a very big loss for free software.
