Are you suggesting a shared-secret solution?  That only works if you
share a secret with Digibug such that only your Gallery3 and Digibug
have a copy of the secret.  Currently, Digibug doesn't offer that type
of solution.  Each Gallery 3 install has its own unique key we could use
for this purpose, but Digibug would have to implement something on their
sude to support it.
