@dalley, sounds right to me. I think this could be implemented using
bmbouters b) option, with 1 difference. If the user can't even file until
approved, I think we shouldn't do it. If the user can file an invisible
issue, I'm ok with this.

b) Story >>> A new user is created, they file an issue. Issue is not
visible until approved. When issue is approved, user is moved to "trusted
user" group. Further issues are not delayed.

This would fix the problem at the cost of delaying response to new
contributors at a critical time, right after their first contribution.
Using "trusted users" would allow us to filter out most issues,
significantly reducing the workload to review for spam.

However, we could also users "trusted users" as an invisible flag that
makes no difference to the user. This would be the exact same amount of
work as b) for us, but new contributor issues are always visible. So after
all this, I'm leaning toward a) + 1/2 b)

a) + 1/2 b) Story >>> A new user is created, they file an issue. Issue is
visible immediately. Issue is flagged internally for spam review, if not
spam, user is added to trusted group. Further issues would skip this
process.

I have one last thought that might make b) more attractive, but its a shot
in the dark. Since the spam is coming from humans, someone is paying them.
If we never show the spam, we remove the incentive, and hopefully someone
will notice and stop it. If y'all think this is how things woud go down, we
could always do b) until the problem stops and switch to a) + 1/2 b).
