How can I report a bug about nautilus conveniently (without creating an account or signing in). If you want to know about bugs you want to make it convenient right?

Here is a description of the bug...

In short, no. You can sign up/in to Launchpad to file bugs there. Similarly upstream projects like GNOME (where Nautilus originates) have a bug tracker you can sign up/in to also.

While we do want people to file bugs, we also want to get useful bug reports and limit spam. It's a well-known fact that if you leave bug report systems wide open, two things will happen:

  1. You'll get a lot of spam which humans need to manage, or write bots to manage - a colossal waste of time that could better be spent elsewhere.
  2. You'll receive a glut of completely useless bug reports.

Indeed, even with a mandatory sign-up process you still get many (although many fewer) spam and useless reports.
