It seems as though the way we required users to have confirmed email
addresses before editing wasn't working. So anyone who created an
account, even if they didn't confirm the email could create or edit a
page. I've managed to fix this, but there is still the question of
removing the spam. I'm considering trying something like removing any
user whos email isn't also subscribed to a gem5 mailing list. Any
thoughts?
