Spam bug reports every day now

Asked by Martin Owens

The inkscape bug tracker is being attacked by spam bug reports on a daily basis. These started a week ago and have gotten really out of hand. There's no way to report users, no way to report bugs (Really) and so I'm at a loss as to how to help control these reports.

Sorry for missing those. I've cleaned up the flood and should at least be able to keep on top of them now.

Can you help with this problem?
