We're using re-captcha on
the sign-up page, but since Bugzilla doesn't have a
moderation system it makes it an easy target. Since
Bugzilla doesn't have a clean bug deletion process
either it makes a messy cleanup.
So it's humans creating accounts and then bots doing
the spamming, isn't it? What would prevent those users from
following the new process? Are you actually checking their email
addresses?
FWIW,
Eclipse.org is not the
only Bugzilla installation. There are many out there. I know you
are really interested in fixing this. We spoke about options in
Ludwigsburg. I think I found another one.
I see the RedHat folks have dealt with the same
issue. It seems they found a solution to do spam detection on
new bug reports before they hit the database. AFAIK, Bugzilla
allows extensibility via plug-ins. Maybe they have such a
plug-in for sharing?
See comment 2 here:
Would it be possible to reach out to the RedHat
folks and ask them for help/advice?
