I've found a couple things managing Dabo's trac that really helped with the 
spammers:

1) There's a registration plugin. So, to view tickets, no authentication is 
needed. 
But to modify or add tickets, or comment on them, you need to register which is 
easy 
and requires no maintenance.


2) A handful of spams still made it through after the registration. But I could 
easily delete those users because I knew who they were (they had to be 
registered). 
And I have a script to revert trac ticket spam easily. After about 2-3 of 
those, the 
spammers have left us alone.
