I meant outside developers - the folks you'd like to see more involved in

Interesting; I haven't run into this but you're the second person to mention
it here. Antispam is (in the large) a technically unsolvable problem; even
in the '90s, we'd see hackers start poking at our newest countermeasures
within the hour. GitHub is a giant target, and PG probably benefits here
from NOT being one. (A quick Google shows redmine and especially Trac having
spam issues of their own.)
Pedantic note/fun fact: There was no email antispam in 1994; Canter & Siegel
posted their infamous USENET Green Card spam that year, but it didn't really
spread to email for another year or two. Once it did, there were fervent
debates about whether it should be called "velveeta" to distinguish from the
USENET variety.
