I though I did resolve this issue some times ago.Those kind of feature are
hard to test e2e so we have to rely on the community for it :-(
It is however recommended to configure an authentication plugin in order to
increase security and avoid people to always enter their email.
There are a bunch of options here, let us know if/why this is not
convenient for you

Looking at the error, I would say you have duplicates in tags list.
This problem should indeed not be managed at db level, but should trigger a
configuration error.

This is quite easy to add a test and fix just in time for rc2

There is no way to do that right now. With current infra, it is difficult
to code this in a scalable manner. This is a problem that shall be resolved
after 0.9 release

I would say this is an inconsitency. Cannot say much more without more
details.

How many builds to you get overnight?
Indeed there is nothing which clean up the older builds to keep memory
usage in a certain bound.
