NAK. The list should be open for everyone to report bugs; bug
reporters are doing a favor to us ("developers"), so it shouldn't be
made harder for them (otherwise the user may be pissed off and go away
- been there, done that).

Hum, maybe allow text/plain for patches?

Wow, that would really annoy a lot of people (especially the devs who
do a lot of posting); IMHO the value of a bug report is higher that
the annoyance of a bit of SPAM. Some automated anti-spam is good of
course, but that doesn't save you from running a local SPAM filter.
FWIW GMail spam filter catches almost all the spam on this list,
spamassassin on my machine does the rest.
