True. But wiht current spam level and robot, you will need to have a
human queue before it really goes into the tracker.

The administrator can do this in request-tracker already
and manipulate the database.

I do not think this is feasabl; humans cannot beat robots that fill out 
webforms.

Our main reason to move to Gforge software (not the propietary software of 
gforge group) is that we will have a larger user community that has the same 
needs, so additions and changes will be easier to make and will be useful to 
more people as well.
I suggest adding a feature request to www.gforge.org.
