Allowing a project to define a question & answer should do the trick -
essentially a password like Skip suggested, but with a reminder right
there on the page:
"Type this project's name in lowercase in this box: _____"
"Type the BDFL's first name in lowercase in this box: ____"
"Type the branch name in this box: ____"
etc.
It's easier than a normal CAPTCHA because its OK to assume a lot more
knowledge on the part of the intended audience.
Cheers,
Nick.
