Why not have a "pr-moderator" for each category (i386, kern, doc, etc), who
approves each incoming PR. Basically this person would act as a front-line
defense against spammers, but it would also allow them to assign PRs to
developers as they are submitted, rather than letting them sit in the PR
database for weeks/months before anyone picks them up.
I believe something like this is being considered.
Have you considered a 'confirmation' system that sends mail back to the
originator for confirmation before actually submitting the PR?
This way, if someone does manage to spam the GNATS database, we'll have
their email address and can officially complain. Most ISPs would have
such abuse be grounds for cancelling their account.
