There is absolutely no technical necessity to publish e-mail addresses of bug
reporters. 
Tying bug-reporting to consenting to publishing your e-mail address thus is at
least dubious, as is "implicit consent".

Further, there needs to be a way to revoke consent – i.e. delete the account
and stop the e-mail address being published.
This option is missing. IMHO this is not GDPR-compliant. It is definitely not
state of the art or a privacy-aware implementation.

We both do not have the final say in this matter.
Is it really necessary to ask the Commissioner for Data Protection or might –
just once – rational technical arguments prevail?
