This should not have taken any time at all.  Did you look into your spam
box?  The registration page [1] also has this note but I don't know why:

      Do not use a hotmail or comcast address here.

Worst case scenario, you should be able to comment and submit things on
the bug tracker anonymously (but sign it and add your email so we can
cite your work).
