Yes, I saw that bug and I was listing its siblings, but no the AbuseFilter
wouldn't be able to do this, what Rich suggested is something like a softlimit
below the hardlimit set by RateLimits, which would be something like "if the
user in the last 24 h has sent five times the emails he sent in the last year,
throttle new emails at X per day" or whatever.

This is IMHO a smarter proposal than bug 43228  but we still lack a concrete
good proposal (I only made a random example) and I maintain that the current
systems are better/enough. For instance one could greatly lower the current
RateLimits, if this is a huge problem, and only allow sysop (or autopatrolled,
or whatever) to send more emails than that by 'noratelimit' permission.
