I'll be honest, I really hate captchas.
I do too, and will not work on adding them. But they're a frequent RFE (or were at one time), and with Google oomph behind reCAPTCHA, I wouldn't be surprised if they rise in popularity again. And they don't violate any RFCs.
If Abhilash wants to work on them, let him! As long as it's a boolean option using an external service like reCAPTCHA (if you think set(Google) <= set(NSA) you need not use it), the bug maintenance burden should be low, we can always refuse future RFEs, and if it keeps some people from trying to filter spam or spammer subscriptions in Mailman it might even be a net configuration support win.
Same here. If it's optional, why not?
