I edited the post to point to

I considered that, but I wasn't sure I wanted the added work of checking
a queue of anonymous issues. If someone else wants to take
responsibility for it, I don't have a problem with enabling anonticket
for metrics-timeline. I also want to encourage structured merge requests
over unstructured issues, because it can take a lot of manual work if
the information in the issue is not complete.
