Nice spot.

However, this fix won't work. Putting a csrf token on every page is
incompatible with the caching system we have in place.

One way to fix it would be to just allow logout GET again (I think this got
broken on a django upgrade where it wasn't tested). But maybe the better
way to fix it would be to have the logout link go to a page with a POST
form on it, and have that form do what the GET link does now. I assume the
GET is blocked because otherwise someone could trick a user, or redirect
them, to the logout URL and they get logged out. I'm not sure how realistic
or how big of a problem that is, but getting rid of it would not hurt...

Would you be interested in working on a patch for that as well?
