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
