I thought that was the case when I tested it earlier, but it 
turned out to be user error on my part.

You *can* upload a file to an existing issue (without being a 
"member"), but you have to click in the Comments box before you 
see that link! Once you click, the link appears. (I think this is 
a bug.)

I think this is a great choice, for the reasons you mentioned. I 
am very impressed with it. Google really rocks!
