Are lots of the spam bugs coming from the same IP address, or from lots of
different IP addresses - is it readily possibly to tell what IP address
created a given bug? (If lots come from the same IP address, hooking
Bugzilla up to something like fail2ban to block connections from the IP
address that created a bug marked as spam could help.)
Much the same question applies to spam account creations (throttle account
creations from the same IP address).
