issue tracker spam issues / switching

Hi all, seems like the pypy-dev issue tracker got some spam through bot-registered users. Unless i am mistaken there is no easy way to add a captcha in addition to the e-mail confirmation registration and so i made the default role for new issue tracker users "anonymous". This means new users need to find an admin who assigns the role "User". Admins on the trackers are e.g. Armin, Maciej, Anto, Amaury, myself and probably others. Not a great solution, i know. It doesn't affect any of the existing users, though. it's probably a good occassion to push for switching to using new issue tracker software especially since there has been other complaints as well. best, holger

Hey. Yes, I think so, especially if we can give handling of spam to someone else ;-) I did a bit of research at some point and personally I would like to give JIRA a try. It looks good, but it's not open source (it's free for open source users though). Cheers, fijal
