Any thoughts about maybe relaxing the login restriction? I know we had
problems with anonymous submissions in the past (mostly inability to contact
the requester for more info I think), but perhaps that downside is less
important than the perception some people have that logging in is a barrier
to submission.
Try it for a few months and see?
