I was going to say something along these lines.

Also sucks when a ticket is closed by anonymous with no comment. You  
never know if it's a core member in a hurry or someone clueless  
messing around.

The wiki is more problematic, I think. Lots more people deal with the  
wiki, many only very rarely, and some just want to fix a typo or add  
a bit of information.

If there's no other way, I'd say go for it. But how about something  
like captchas? (I'm not a big fan, would prefer a login, in fact.  
Just throwing ideas)

Another idea for the wiki: allow a small number of anonymous updates  
(identified by ip), say 3, and on the forth, require a login. So  
casual users can fix their typos but spam activity is reduced.
