How about turning off anonymous posting on the bug/patch/feature trackers? The spam rate is increasing, and the anonymous bug reports are either people who forgot to login, or otherwise quite low quality.
i don't see a point in doing so. the spam rate is really low. there are 8 spam issues in all 3 trackers, 4 of which have been posted in 2011, and 4 have been posted in 2010. i wouldn't call that excessive.
you have deleted for of them, i deleted the rest, so the main work was on my side :-)
so please leave the bug tracker open.
If the spam was the only issue, then I would be fine with leaving it anonymous. The other issues are perhaps more important, and the spam just serves as a reminder.
