I'm sorry about banning Gmail addresses. It was the best way to 
stop the flood of spam that I could find at the time. I only have 
limited access to the Bugzilla server, and Brad was too busy with 
other things to do something more sophisticated.

On newer Bugzilla versions, you can log in with your GitHub 
account. You can try it on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/.

The crude spam measures like the Gmail ban would also hopefully 
not be needed once the DLF runs the Bugzilla instance.
