I'm somewhat skeptical that an approach involving manual review by 
administrators could work. I'd rather find a means to not let spambots
register in the first place.

OTOH, allowing issue submission to proceed, but adding a SPAM button
(accessible to developers) might work. This button would expire the 
issue, disable the poster's account, and add the data to the spam
database. However, I would hope it would rarely happen if we
can manage to not let spambots register in the first place. So it
might be a lot of effort for little gain (OTOH, it might also be
useful to other roundup installations if sufficiently generalized).
