Where do you see such problems would end? After challenge/response
verification of the email address given? Helps against spammers, but who
really wanted to abuse the wiki would pass also that. Upload of an
OpenPGP key with trust at least in the 5th level? Apache committers
only? The more barriers you put in, the less community you'll get.

so deleting that content somewhat helped the transition in that one
