The above link says (at the end) - If you believe you have encountered a bug, please submit your report at the [Mender JIRA issue tracker](https://tracker.mender.io/projects/MEN).

I would like to know whether Mender JIRA is public or not. I can see the issues but, I believe I required login access to submit the report (anyone can login?). Please correct me if I’m wrong.
