I think we need to do everything we can to prevent spam and minimize the
maintenance required from this all-volunteer group.
I'm a bit confused, though. I thought that we already had a contributor
group. Didn't you make a change to the Front page announcing it as well
as mentioning it on the Ant User mailing list (thread "ANT Wiki isn't
wiki")? If reversions are allowed by anonymous users, perhaps we need to
limit that permission instead. Or have a way of purging revisions that
contain spam so that they cannot be reverted to.
Or is this contributor group different from the one we have now?

Hi all,
spammers have started to use a new technique by reverting pages to the
revision that contains spam after we have fixed the page. "Revert"
doesn't cause email notifications (I've asked infra to look into this).
Also they are now starting to use URL shorteners so blacklist will
become less useful - even if we start blacklisting all URL shorteners.
The approach recommended by infra is to set up a contributor group and
provide write access to the wiki only to people who join the list and
ask for it

What do you think?
