I wonder about the effort required to do such a thing. Some of those emails
seem fake, is there some kind of confirmation email for newly created accounts?
Limiting the number of bug reports per new account seems a good measure, but
also easily circumvented as long as someone can create as many new users as
they wish and each user stays below the limit.
