Here is my thoughts on this : Implement community moderation: Allow the community of users on pagure.io to help moderate and flag spam projects and users.

Increase the frequency of automated clean-up scripts: Increasing the frequency of these scripts could help keep the site cleaner and reduce the need for manual intervention by administrators.
