What you can do and what will help immediately:

Create some EditorGroup page and put all trusted users on it.

Then use acl_rights_default = u"EditorGroup:read,write,delete,revert
All:read".

The group page will also get protected by this default ACL: only people
who are in EditorGroup can edit EditorGroup (to add more people).

For 1.6, I am working on kind of a "text captcha" system.
