I think this is a nice idea. If our trac could gain a CAPTCHA module,
this would be useful also for other projects. What we have done in
Sherpa as a work-around is to create a generic Trac user/password that
we write on the website and that users can use to submit tickets. So
even if CAPTCHA doesn't work on HepForge's trac, this might be a
work-around for Rivet's analysis submission as well?
