They won't use Anubis for reasons described here [1]. In short,
JavaScript and proof-of-work schemes similar to those used in
cryptocurrencies (fancy term for scams).

I have tried a few times to suggest metarefresh challenges which do not
require JavaScript, and which work well for sourceware.org [2]. But
never heard any response on that.

Therefore, I think it is safe to assume it won't be resolved in the
foreseeable future, sadly.
