Suggestion: Easy registration with first post/article/comment

Allow guest users to become registered in a fast way, by just inserting the email while posting something for first time.
Just add this option in the backend.
Why not?
I can't see what the problem is

I try also to convince Joomla people that they have to focus more on KISS and make it easy for registration with groups and with powerful flexible profiling system bcs thats core to every system where you must handle users, email, marketing automation, analytic etc etc

Problem is that it was not understood long time ago but people now understand that this is core and maybe this will be change in future versions. For example there will be profile fields in next version coming now..:) as you can understand I discuss this since 2005 but things take time with open source projects..

The Joomla project has 509 contributors on GitHub, all of them with a good PHP knowledge.
It's almost incredible that this feature doesn't exist in 3.6.2

Well it’s natural that projects like Joomla where consensus have to be "everywhere" not everybody strive in the same (right) direction what is priority or not. Especially when things get more complex too. The common answers to new “features” before have been “just jump in and start coding” so even that’s illogical that not 100% of mankind can be coders or understand things in the same way. So things that are obvious for some people is very illogical to others worldview and understanding I have experienced since my 11 years with Joomla. I think though that Joomla people today are more understanding of focus on end users and the UX which is good and Joomla start progressing good in this area now finally. That’s great. Wordpress did a strong focus with a specific project on UX 5-6 years ago and that I think was a very important strategic decisions from leadership there that put them into the position where they are today with that image of UX friendliness..
