I don't think this is possible. Setting can either be configured such that
anyone can edit but not upload attachments or else ONLY an AdminGroup or
ContributersGroup can add material. This requires someone to maintain the
respective configuration files in our wiki instance... which is not a huge
deal.

The whole blocking attachment issue was introduced as some projects were
experiencing high levels of spam. If this has/is not the case with Nutch
then for the time being we can simply remove this restriction and implement
the above restriction if/when spam occurs.

Any thoughts?

Examples of material which has been blocked are
