Please don't exaggerate to "all edits".  The guidelines are a bit
more formal/important than many wiki pages.

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2442
but bugs.koha.org seems to be run by liblime so I don't have access to
fix stuff (this is a recurring problem in koha.org...).

It would also need unregistered users to be allowed to report bugs.

Both getting spam because their email address gets put on bugzilla and
bugzilla getting spammed because it allows incoming emails.
Email-accessible bug trackers have to have some protection.  I'm not
sure what is possible with bugzilla.

Hope that explains,
