 Related to the possible migration from trac into gitlab we have been
 talking about guest accounts. There was a conversation in irc about having
 them or not. We need to come to an agreement on what to do about it.

 Options in gitlab:

 1) Having 'guest accounts' like <name>-guest

 Pros:
 - anybody can report problems/features and there are less barriers for
 contribution

 Cons:
 - spam

 2) Opening registration

 Pros:
 - anybody can report problems/features and there are less barriers for
 contribution

 Cons:
 - spam

 3) Having accounts by 'invitation only'.

 Pros:
 - no spam

 Cons:
 - one more barrier to contribute to Tor
