One idea could be to route the bug reports through the mailing list,
since the list seems to deal with spam pretty well.

Page 140, Cool but simple algo to implement. Could be added to
the Racket HTTP Server as a DOS capability.

Woah! I should have checked: I think they were all coming from
the same ip address. I've blocked that IP address and lets see
what happens.
Thanks.

I don't how much of this is done right now, or is
feasible, but just in case here are some suggestions:
- Don't allow more than 5-10 bug reports in one hour from
the same IP, with possible ban (+ visual warning)
- Use something like SpamAssassin, tuned toward bug-reporting
- Restrict bug reporting to registered users only (but
this is probably a bad policy)
- Make the user pay $1 for each bug report (+ optionally
introduce random bugs in Racket), and pay me back 50% for
the idea.

Hi all: I'm sorry to say that I've just disabled
planet's bug reporting system. Over the last 24 hours,
we've gotten about 2,000 spam bug reports. (They are
all gone now.)
I'm also sorry to report that I deleted bug number 509
by accident (it was not spam).
The bug report system was using recaptcha (still is
there, actually if you want to see:
http://planet.racket-lang.org/trac/newticket) but
apparently that's now been broken.
I'm not sure what's the right approach to take in
fixing this, so if people have suggestions I'm all
ears and motivated in a way that I wasn't last time
this came up on the list.
