I am sorry you have been having trouble creating an account on savannah,
this should not have been a problem.  We also support people to anonymously
submit bug reports and patches.

Anyway, I have attached your modified versions to the existing bug report [3]
and your email to the CC list for that bug only.  You should be able to reply
to any query there without an account.
