A bug report is a conversation.  If the user doesn't want to be
contactable, I would strongly prefer they not file a bug report at all,
since frequently I won't be able to do anything about it without having
that conversation.

I tend towards Ian's position on this.  I don't think enabling more,
lower-quality, unrepliable bug reports is going to make Debian any better
or any more user-friendly than it is now.  I have plenty of high-quality
bug reports from contactable people to work on already.

I think you're chasing the wrong problem.
